Excuses

 

“But they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first one said to him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused” - Luke 14:18

 

There was a guy, specialist in making excuses and he is the assistant to Winston Churchill, the prime minister of England. Winston Churchill will be present on time in his office but his assistant will be late often. One day Churchill called his assistant but he wasn't there. He came late as usual. He asked for the reason, and his assistant said, Sir please forgave me, I saw my watch is slow just recently. Churchill said, either change your watch or I will have you changed. The decision is yours. From that day, he stopped giving excuses and came on time. 

 

We can see lot of people in the Bible who gave excuses. From Adam, Eve, Saul to the tribe of Ephraim, the list is big. Those who give excuses won’t hesitate to lie. Because they are good at lying they make excuses. Wherever there is lying and making excuses, works of the adversary is present there. 

 

The other face of making excuses is laziness. Lazy people will give excuses for everything. Behind forgetting an assigned work or denying something is laziness. Excuses can't be taken lightly. It is also a sin. In today's devotion we can see three types of people. God didn't force them to do something. Instead he left them to choose someone else. If I refuse His ministry, He will bring someone else who is completely unrelated to fulfill the task. We cannot see apart from Moses and Jeremiah, God never forced anyone to do a specific task. From this devotion, if God expects you to do something, it will be a blessing to obey Him immediately. Let God guide you.

- P. Jacob Shankar
