"No More Excuses!"

A Blast From The Word
“No More Excuses!”
Psalms 18:3
I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.
David knew about salvation. Even though Jesus had not died for our sins yet, David had an understanding of how to pray. When he called on the Lord, he called on him with praise and thanksgiving. He also knew the worthiness of the Lord. If we live a thousand years and praise Jesus every minute of those thousand years, it is still not enough. We will praise Him throughout eternity. David also knew the Lord would save him from his enemies. He was talking about men. While I write this it dawns on me that we also have some different kinds of enemies. We have bad attitudes, negative thoughts, doubt, worry, fear, faithless living, no holiness, no repentance, bad habits and the list goes on. What is your “enemy” today? And it doesn’t matter if everyone around you has a bad attitude. You might say “well everybody is living this way, why should I be any different?” This is just an excuse. Throw those away too. Get some things over with in your life today and start really living for Jesus and move on with the future God has for you. Only He can save you from your enemies. Call on the Lord, today.
Father God, I do praise and worship You. I love You. Thank You for loving me. Show me the root of my problem and how to get over it. Lord, please help me to change. I want positive changes in my life. I want my life to glorify You. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen
