“The saying is true at its best and that is this..you cannot get a different result by doing the same thing..day in and day out..Amen..you cannot get a different result by being complacent..Amen..in other words sitting around dreaming and talking of success in life but never placing feet to it..Amen..and instead just simply murmuring and complaining and making every excuse under the sun of the reasons why you can’t do that..or why you would never be able to do that..or simply blaming others and blaming past..and actually living there..Amen..but I think of excuses in life and at how easy it is to throw them around like it isn’t anything..Amen..but as well I think of the ones in the bible who did the same thing..just as Moses he had many excuses that he had given to God..his biggest one was I am not eloquent..I am slow to speech and of tongue..(Exodus 4:10)..the same with Gideon he tells God that my clan is the weakest and I am the least..(Judges 6:15)..Jeremiah as well did the same he says I do not know how to speak..I am too young..(Jeremiah 1:6)..just as King Saul he disobeyed God and when he was confronted by Samuel..and he stood there and made excuses and blamed others..(1 Samuel 15:20-21)..and of course we cannot leave out Adam and Eve after they sinned they both made excuses..Adam blamed Eve..and Eve blamed the serpent..(Genesis 3:1-24)..and we know the man at the pool of Bethesda when the Lord ask if he wanted to be made whole..his response was I have no one to help me into the pool..and the man had the infirmity for thirty eight years..(John 5:1-15)..Amen!”

“But my point of writing all of that is this..that each of them had an excuse..but God had already told each of them that He would be with them..that they should not be afraid..that He would appoint help even for them..Amen..but I think of us and I think the same..that each of us already know what to do in life..and how we can change our lives for the better..but yet somehow we fail to put feet to the life that were truly wanting to live..we simply make excuses..other than taking action..for you see faith without works is dead..(James 2:14-26)..and with all of our excuses the only thing we do is equal failure in our lives..for nothing at all changes when we do these things..Amen..but with action in our lives then we are on the pathway toward success in our lives..Amen..for our motivation has got to be there..for we can complain all the day long about whatever it is but simply put what are we doing to change it?..whatever that change might be..Amen..are we doing something about it?..are we putting in the effort?..are we making adjustments and doing our best to see successful results to follow in the end..Amen!”

“Just like the children of Israel simply going around there same ole mountain in life for forty years all the while murmuring and complaining never seeing the promised land that they should’ve been at in only eleven days..imagine that..Amen..so this morning I do pray for strength and victory for each of us and our lives..I pray that whatever it is that we are wanting to see in our lives to come to pass and to change..to be renewed..to be restored..whatever it is I do pray that each of us are placing feet to it and that we are putting in the effort to see it all come to pass in our lives and in world in which we are living..and I pray as far as past..excuses..and blame..and of course pointing fingers I hope if that is us..that we begin this very day changing that and asking the Lord for help to move on and to truly live the life of victory that our Savior died that we all could be living and should be living..for greater works will we do our Lord has said..(John 14:12)..Amen..so let us be the best we can be..doing the best we can with what we have..placing feet and actions every day of our lives..being on a mission and being with that goal and vision always before our eyes in our minds and in our hearts..all the while as we are moving right over into our promised land of victory from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ..Amen!”

“For it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
