Dream Excuses
We have looked at Dreaming Big and Dream Killers now it’s time to look at Dream excuses. These are the excuses that come from our own hearts as we try to pursue our dreams. Here are a few.
- “I’m not good at (Insert skill here.)” - When God called Moses to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt Moses’ response was “I’m not good at public speaking”(paraphrase). God replied “I made your stinking mouth, I’ll make sure you can speak.”(Once again a paraphrase) Moses whined some more and eventually God said “Fine, I’ll send you brother with you to do all the talking, but you are still going.” So in the end Moses excuse was pointless.
- “I don’t have enough (insert resource here)” - Whether it’s time, money, space, people, or whatever, God is bigger then any resource that you need. The story of Jesus feeding the five thousand went something like this. Disciples - “Jesus, send these people home so they can eat, we don’t have enough food for them.” Jesus - “How much food do you have?” D - “Five loafs of bread, and two fish, that’s not even enough for us to eat!” J - “Father Bless this food, amen. Here you go hand it out.” God can use the small amount of resources you have if you ask Him to bless it and trust His plan.
- “I’m not good enough for this” - Simply put none of us are. Peter denied Christ. Paul murdered Christians. David was and adulterer and murderer. Noah was a drunk. If you feel unworthy then you are in good company. Embrace it, be open about it, and trust God to make up for it.
- “I’m comfortable where I am” - I can’t think of a specific example of this one, but I think it is the underlying issue in all of our excuses. We don’t want to get uncomfortable.
