This is something that has been convicting me and everybody I’ve mentioned it to so here goes:
One Sunday after church, I was talking to my uncle and we were having our own little church in his backyard when he said something that really took me back “You can’t use your blessings as an excuse.”
Woah.
Most of the time when I make excuses for skipping church, not having time to read my Bible, or whatever it may be, I blame it on my blessings. “I’m too tired to go to church because I stayed up all night hanging out with my friends” or “I don’t have time to spend time in the Word because I have to study for this big test coming up”. Friends and education are huge blessings which many wish to receive. So if we’re using these blessings as an excuse to separate from God… well isn’t that just crappy? And those blessings can be taken away from us just as quickly as they were given to us.
Ouch.
