What’s My Excuse?
December 4, 2025
KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:
Philemon 10
I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:
How often have we thought, “I cannot witness for Christ now because __________” (You fill in the blank. I know I have, with many excuses). It seems there is always a reason not to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
However, does it ever work the other way? You are just sitting around and thinking, “I sure wish there was someone around to talk about Jesus right about now.” If you ever thought this and meant it, probably someone showed up. God intends for us always to be willing, ready, and able to share the good news of our salvation.
Paul led a runaway slave by the name of Onesimus to the Lord while in jail. Paul could have said I am too preoccupied trying to think of how to get out of jail to think about someone else right now. Sadly, this is what many of us do all too often. What could happen if we all decided in the year to come, we would be more like Paul whenever possible? In our worst times, let’s think of others. We might be surprised, it might make what we thought was our worst time, not so bad after all.
CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:
As you go through your day today, start to think about whom I can share Christ with, and how I will do it. Then, JUST DO IT! It will surprise them and you. It will also make your day a lot more exciting.
Who do you have in mind to surprise today?
IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:
Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this Passage and today’s Devotion?
Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?
What are one or two things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
