“Be Stronger Than Your Excuses”
What are excuses? Are they comforting words we tell ourselves to avoid action? Or maybe they’re a way of delaying something we aren’t fully committed to. Whatever they are, excuses hold us back, especially in our faith.
Take a moment to think about the excuses you make each day. How do these choices impact your relationship with God? When we consider our excuses through the lens of faith, the reasons for our struggles often become clearer.
Consider these common excuses:
- “I’ll start a diet later” – seeking comfort in food instead of seeking peace from God.
- “I’ll exercise tomorrow” – putting off caring for the body God has given us.
- “I’ll avoid that person” – sidestepping an opportunity for Christ to work through us.
These are just a few examples, but they show how easily excuses can distance us from God. Excuses are not new; they’re part of human nature. In the Bible, Jesus shares a parable about a man who prepared a great banquet and invited many guests, yet those invited began to make excuses for not attending (Luke 14:17-18). Just like in the parable, our excuses can prevent us from accepting God’s invitation to grow closer to Him.
Every excuse we make weakens our connection with Christ. We hinder Him from using us to our fullest potential, and we limit our growth as Christians. Is that the life we aim for? The excuses we make don’t just delay us—they hurt our relationship with God.
Excuses are small barriers to spiritual growth. Watching TV instead of reading the Bible, holding onto grudges instead of forgiving, avoiding opportunities to serve—all these choices keep us from living in alignment with God’s calling. The truth is, when we make excuses, we end up hurting ourselves more than anyone else. God calls us to recognize this when we feel tempted to delay or avoid doing what’s right.
Excuses often reflect selfishness or self-interest, even if we don’t realize it. We weren’t meant to live life solely for ourselves but to serve God and our community. What excuse could justify ignoring this divine calling?
Takeaway: True growth begins when we’re willing to step beyond excuses and follow God’s call. Each small choice to overcome an excuse is a step toward a stronger, more fulfilling faith.
Call to Action: Are you ready to move past excuses and step into a life of purpose? Let go of the delays and take action today—God’s calling is waiting for you.
