“EXCUSES”
When God calls you to take part in His ministry, how do you respond? “Here Am I!” or, “Send someone else.” Look at some of the excuses God- called people gave:
Abraham was too old Moses stuttered Miriam was a gossip Jacob was a liar Gideon doubted Elijah was burned out First David’s armor didn’t fit, then he had an affair, and had someone killed Solomon was too rich Isaiah had unclean lips Jeremiah was too young Jonah didn’t like the job Amos’s only training was in the school of fig tree pruning Naomi was a widow Peter was afraid of death Thomas was from Missouri (The “Show Me State”) Paul was a murderer Mark was rejected by Paul Timothy had ulcers Lazarus was dead Martha was a worry-wart …..or so they claimed, before God’s Spirit empowered them to rise to the occasion and become some of the greatest heroes of our faith.
What’s Your Excuse?
Love, Pastor Tommy
