No Excuse

As I went through my hectic day today I began to think of some of the many excuses I've heard over the past several years as to why people couldn't live up to the standards God has place on their lives. Being quite honest with you some of the excuses are somewhat humorous and others are just plain pathetic. People allow all types of things to keep them from God's house and from keeping His commandments. But those same people are the ones who will get up at 4am and go shopping all day long the day after Thanksgiving just to same some money on Christmas gifts. They are the ones who stay up late to watch their favorite TV program. But yet they have every excuse under the sun as to why they just can't make it to church or read their Bibles or even pray for more then a quick blessing at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The reason they make excuses is because they don't truly love God the way they should and sometimes even claim to do. If they loved God more then the Late Night show they would cut off the TV and go to bed so they could get up ready to encounter God and His church. If they loved God more then anything else in life He would be put first. Isn't it funny how we can make time for the things we actually like to do but can't ever seem to find the time to do the things God wants us to do. Now since we've talked about "they" all this time let me ask you a question. Is God first in your life? Is it getting harder and harder to live a holy life? Maybe you show lead your heart instead of letting It lead you and begin to draw close to God again. Fall passionately in love with God and then it won't be so hard to do the things you know you ought to do! See you at church.... right!
