Good Excuses For Denying Your Calling - I Am Not Capable

Judges 6:15. There are many good excuses for not acknowledging God and the calling that is on our lives. Many of us when we are called by God, we give the good excuse that “I am not capable of fulfilling my calling”. The trouble with good excuses like this is that they do not work with God. God has a calling, a purpose, for our lives and with that he has made provision for us to fulfill our calling. The prophet Gideon gave the excuse of “I am not capable” when God called him to save Israel from their enemies (Judges 6:15, “And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house”.) When you think about who God is (all powerful, all knowing, and all present), how is it possible for us to doubt that God has made all the provisions for us to fulfill His calling in our lives? If we know God has called us to do something, we just need to do it. He will make provisions for us to succeed. In the final analysis, giving excuses to God is another way of showing our disobedience to God.
