Over the next few weeks we will be studying excerpts from my book, “FEAR – PROOF” as we look at how damaging fear can be to the Mental component of our Wheel of Life.
“He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.” ~Ben Franklin
Our fear of or unwillingness to face reality is often the reason behind excuses. In essence we feel as though our admission of error represents weakness. This is a lie the devil loves for us to buy into.
Our character is built upon our ability to handle reality. I believe the devil tries his best to get us to run from reality through excuse-making as it weakens our character.
I used to have an excuse for everything. Today I know if I’m not the problem, then there will be no solution.
When faced with a problem stop running from it through excuse-making and instead thank God for it and face it because in every problem lies the solution and an opportunity to grow in character.
I write from experience.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV), “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
Additional Scripture to read and reflect upon:Â Philippians 4:6, Philippians 4:13, 2 Corinthians 5:17
What beliefs, thoughts and actions cause you to struggle with excuses?
