Prov 24:12
12 If you say, “Surely we did not know this,” Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does He not know it? And will He not render to each man according to his deeds? NKJV
- Excuses
- Excuses don’t work well with your creator.
- Gen 3:12; Ex 4:10-12; 32:22; 1 Sam 13:11-12; 15:13-28; 16:7; Prov 20:4; Ecc 12:14; Jer 1:5; Matt 6:4; 25:25-26; Acts 7:22; Eph 2:10
- He sees through every excuse we make, He sees our heart. Most of our excuses are insults to God any how. He created us, to say to God “I can’t… “, “But I am not smart enough”, “tall enough”, or “talented enough”…. Is to tell God that He did not make you right and doesn’t know what He is talking about. No excuse will do as we stand before God.
- Lord Help me to live a life without excuse, an excuseless life. Help me to walk in Your ways, and when they seem to big for me help me to go on in Your strength.
- Those that refuse to admit they have a problem or that they made a mistake are doomed to repeat it. Prov 26:11;
- Just because you can justify it doesn’t make it okay. Prov 30:11-12; Rev 3:17; What we justify and what God considers justified are very different Rom 1:32; 14:22; It says to be careful not to condemn yourself by what you approve of. Those who confess their sins find mercy those who don’t are condemned Prov 28:13;
