"And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.'" -Matthew 28:18-20 (NASB)
When my daughter doesn't want to do something, her new excuse is, "I can't, because my feet are all tired out." Sometimes God asks us to do things, just as Jesus challenged during the "Great Commission" in Matthew. How do we choose to respond?
In the "Great Commission", Jesus called us to spread His love and message to others, but sometimes we look to Him and say, "I would, but my feet are tired." We hear His words and even approve of what He is saying, but we find excuses to stay within our comfort zones. There are times we choose to continue doing what we were doing, not wanting to stop or change direction. At other times we can be heard complaining about what we need and what isn't getting done. We should remember that God will give us the strength and wisdom to further His Kingdom, even if our feet are tired!
Rely on God and use your talents to further His Kingdom, no excuses!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for sending Jesus to show me the way and to die as a sacrifice for my sins. Help me to drop the excuses and work for Your Kingdom in all I do. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
