Genesis 3:12 NASB "The man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me some of the fruit of the tree, and I ate.”"Excuses! Today's verse shares about the excuse Adam used when God asked him why he sinned! It's easy to find the excuses of why we aren't doing what we should. I am amazed at myself, at how easy it is to find an excuse when I don't want to do something. They seem to come rather easily rather than finding a reason to do the right thing. Sometimes the excuses we used are based upon other people, like Adam blaming Eve, Eve blamed satan. I wonder who we blame when we sin... "the devil made me do it" isn't a true excuse because he can't make us do anything, we chose the path we take. Let's be strong out there and find the reason in Christ rather than an excuse, in not doing the right thing! Excuses, what are they good for, absolutely nothin' peace, tom
