Romans 1:20 “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.”DEVOTION — “WITHOUT EXCUSE” Excuses are the l a s t refuge of a heart that refuses to face truth. God says plainly that mankind is without excuse—because His power, His Godhead, and His truth have been revealed both in creation and in His Word.EXCUSES: When your life becomes a chain of e x c u s e s to cover your poor choices, it proves you have never grasped true repentance. A man who never understands repentance will inevitably harden his heart. Then his e x c u s e s become the very nails sealing his own coffin.EXCUSES CREATE A FALSE REALITY Excuses always build your o w n version of “truth.” They twist the facts. They redefine sin. They comfort the flesh. They blind the soul.EXCUSES PRODUCE SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS Excuses feed a s e l f–righteous spirit—one that others can see clearly, while the guilty person remains blind to his own words, actions, and attitude. Excuses eventually become personalized lies—crafted to comfort a hardened heart in its rejection of God’s way.A HARD TRUTH Either you are walking according to Scripture—the truth—or you are walking in blindness, propped up by your excuses, desperately trying to justify sinful c h o i c e s.There is no middle ground.Proverbs 12:15 (KJV) “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.”
