Luke 14:18 NASB "And yet they all alike began to make excuses. The first one said to him, ‘I purchased a field and I need to go out to look at it; please consider me excused.’"It used to be me! Today's Word is part of the parable where a man was having a dinner and began to invite his friends when they all began to make excuses as to why they couldn't come! I used to be like that, thinking more about myself and what I wanted than those around me. If I got the call to help or an invite to a church event, I made up and excuse so I wouldn't have to go. When Jesus entered my life, I found that the excuses didn't hold water any more. The "what's best for me" became "what would Jesus do" and I found that going to those events blessed me more than I thought! Don't let the excuses keep us from the blessings and blessings other! Stop finding excuses and find the reason in Jesus Christ! peace, tom
