-Matthew 8:19-22
"Our struggle with excuses is the test of our commitment to Christ. Make no mistake: in a thousand choices to obey, we are faced with several thousand excuses to turn away. All of them seem 'reasonable'." -David Nasser
It is so easy to make excuses. Every day I make excuses like "I can start tomorrow" or "I just don't have time right now!" We often miss what God is trying to do in our lives because we are too busy trying to make excuses. Obeying God requires a lot of effort and courage. The question we must ask ourselves, is are we willing to seek God with all of our hearts or will we make excuses to get out of what He is asking us to do because it is just too hard?
David Nasser says, "If you have the slightest clue about being bought by the blood of Jesus, you won't see how much you can get away with." How true!
