Proverbs 24:12
If you say, “See, we did not know this,”
Does He not consider it who weighs the hearts?
And does He not know it who keeps your soul?
And will He not render to man according to his work?
Excuses, Excuses! We are so good at excuses! The sun was in my eyes so I couldn't catch the ball! My dog ate my home work that's why I don't have it! I'm not feeling good today and won't be coming to work ... I will, however, be playing golf this afternoon! When it comes to excuses man is the master. "My wife made me do it!" said Adam to God. We think our excuses are profound and valid. In the above proverb Solomon tells us that if we use the excuse, "We did not know this," God will find us out. God sees through excuses. He "weighs" the hearts. If you say I can't serve in church because I am too busy, God weighs the heart. This proverb says God "keeps the soul." If you say you can't forgive because the pain is too bad despite the fact that He provided the way and commands us to forgive, God weighs the soul. God will render a man according to his work because God knows the heart and soul of man. When it comes to serving God and worshiping God and loving God and man we need to do away with the excuses. We need to realize it is sin in our lives that hinders us from obedience, confess the sin and find power in the resurrection of Christ, via Faith. No more excuses ... have Faith in God.
