Have you
had your Joy Juice today? Let’s not make
any excuses…Drink in the joy every chance you get.
Do you ever
try to argue with God when He “tells” you to do something? Maybe He has laid someone on your heart to
help in some way and you think, “I’m not the person for that. She doesn’t know
me well enough…or he knows me too well!
I don’t have the resources or the skills or the know-how.” Excuses!
Moses did
the same thing. In Exodus 3, he got his
assignment to lead the Israelites out of slavery. He was CERTAIN that God was making a mistake
by choosing him for this task. His
excuses came out as:
- Who am I? He had a crisis of identity (v 11)
- What is his name? …a crisis of authority (v 13)
- They will not believe me…..a crisis of faith (4:1)
- I am not eloquent …a crisis of ability (4:10)
- Send WHOMEVER else…..a crisis of obedience (4:13)
Do you ever use
those same kinds of excuses? “God, who
am I that you would choose me for that task?
Is it really You, God? If I did try
to fulfill this leading, who is going to listen to me? I’m not a good at things
like this! I don’t have the talent that many others do. God, please give this job to someone else…ANYBODY
but me!"
As the saying goes, “Where God guides, He
provides!” and that includes plenty of
Joy Juice to keep us refreshed and ready! No more excuses!!!
