• Reasons why people make excuses

  • You are not sure of your abilities
  • You are more aware of what you cannot do instead of what God can do through you
  • You are frightened of your task
• When you are facing a great task


  You often just look at your own weaknesses

• God is almighty and He has unlimited power
• Reasons why you should eliminate excuses

  • God promises to be with you at all times
  • God will give you wisdom to do your task
• God already knows your limitations long before He assigns a task to you
• God wants to stretch you and cause you to grow
• The tasks He gives you are not just to direct you to accomplish something; He also wants to lead you to grow in your abilities and trust Him more
• God's help is available
• Paul in Philippians 4:13: 'Christ gives me the strength to face everything'
• The greatest assurance you can have to help you eliminate excuses is the God's promise that He will be with you at all times
• His favor in your life should give you enough confidence to tackle even the most difficult tasks
