Moses said to the LORD, “O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.” The LORD said to him, “...I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.”
~ Exodus 4:10-12 (NIV)

We sure do know how to make excuses to God when He asks us to do something, huh? We don't think we're a good enough speaker, like Moses did. Or we think we've made too many mistakes in life to be effective. Or we're just lazy and don't feel like it. God says I'm not taking any of your excuses.

When you allow God to use you without making excuses, you will stand amazed at His ability to work through you! And your heart will be blessed beyond measure.
In God's kingdom, you can make excuses, or you can make milestones. Are you riding the fence, or riding the fence line?
Love,
Joelene
