No More Excuses!
“There’s no way I can do that. I think you have the wrong person,” says Moses. “Hey, I would love to help you out, God, but there is simply no way I could go and speak to the people OR speak to Pharaoh for that matter, with any type of authority. I have a sp-sp-speech impediment. How can you expect them to ta-ta-take me seriously?”
“Don’t worry about it,” said God, “I will give you the right words to
say at the right time. If it makes you feel any better, bring your
brother along with you for some moral support.”
So, Moses went down and told Pharaoh to “Let My People Go!” And, guess what? He didn’t stutter. He didn’t speak with a lisp. He didn’t fall on his face. And nobody laughed him out of town.
He spoke with definite authority and they, sure as heck, took him seriously.
Why?
Because it was his PURPOSE. God had ordained that job for him and him alone.
When it comes to living out your purpose, don’t make up excuses as to why you can’t live out your purpose like Moses did. Don’t doubt yourself for one minute.
Don’t think that you aren’t smart enough because you do not have a college degree.
Excuse.
Don’t say that you aren’t attractive enough and only attractive people get the breaks.
Excuse.
Don’t say that you don’t have any money to live your purpose.
Excuse.
Don’t hit me with the “but it’s impossible. You don’t know all the other responsibilities I have right now.”
Excuse.
Your purpose is ordained to you by God. This means that you are guaranteed to be successful at living your purpose if only you just do it—NO EXCUSES.
Now, it might take a minute for your purpose to become a reality the same as it took Moses several attempts to free his people. But he didn’t give up. And neither should you. There is no way you can fail. God has given you an assignment. Get to it!!!
