Excuses are like noses

A scribe approached him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.” …another of his disciples said, “first let me go bury my father.”

Matthew 8:19-21

If tomorrow is going to be your best day, you’ll never get there. Don’t pin your hopes on what you *will do* as soon as you finish whatever is more important right now. “Oh I want to be more faithful… it’s just really hard right now to find the time” That means you don’t really want to, or at least there’s something more important to you. The problem isn’t that thing has come up at this time, it’s that you think it’s more important. What do you skip, and what can you never miss? On what do you spend your discretionary income while leaving other obligations unfulfilled? We do what we want… don’t be one who *says* they follow Jesus but has a million reasons why this week is just too busy. Be a follower of Jesus.
