There is no excuse before God
A simple definition of
above phrase is an excuse or reason we give for not doing what someone else
expects us to do.
It is part of our human nature to come up with a good
excuse when we are accused of something. Whenever we stray from God's purpose
in our lives, most of us can come up with a good excuse to justify our actions.
God, our creator, has a purpose for all of us. Instead of us answering God's
call, we will give what we think are good excuses to not fulfill our calling.
We should remember always
that, God does not force Himself on us but Faith outlasts fear
Here we can
refer to the people who made excuses when God called them;
·
In Exodus 3:11 Moses before the Burning
Bush gives God excuses on why he cannot fulfill his calling.
It is true that the worst
times we make excuses are when we feel God impressing us or calling on us to do
something. We find all sorts of reasons for not doing what God wants us to do. We
are busy with other types of life which we feel are sweet to us.
But we should understand that, there is no good excuse for not fulfilling the calling that
God has put on our lives. We can say “I
am not ready; I am unworthy, I do not want to do it, I can't do it, and so on”.
None of these excuses matter to God. Jesus said: "If I had not come and
spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their
sin" (John 15:22).
But God has
promised: "I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently will
find me" (Proverbs 8:17). "And you will seek Me and find Me, when you
search for Me with all your heart" (Jeremiah 29:13). Jesus said: "Ask
and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock and it will be
opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to
him who knocks it will be opened" (Matthew 7:7-8).
Therefore we need to say Yes, Yes when God calls us and not to excuse ourselves and blame other people in justifying our actions.
