I QUIT MAKING EXCUSES

· AS SOON I DECIDE TO BE DIFFERENT, SATAN GIVES ME EXCUSES TO STAY THE SAME.

…"A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. 17At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, 'Come, for everything is now ready.' 18"But they all alike began to make excuses.” Luke 14:16-18

I QUIT MAKING EXCUSES

Moses said to the Lord, "O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue." 11The Lord said to him, "Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the Lord? 12Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say." Exodus 4:10-12

· DO WHAT YOU CAN DO.

· TRUST GOD TO DO WHAT YOU CANNOT DO.

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness..." For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:9a, 10b

TALK IT OVER

· Share what you know God wants to be different about your life. How will these changes draw you closer to God?

· Of the steps you need to take, which ones will you really need God’s strength to make?
