Excuses just are not good reasons
Not to fix what may be broke.
Denial won't admit the truth
And hides behind a well-planned cloak.
These two cousins hold us back
From joys and blessings God would give.
These are not good choices
For the way we're really meant to live.
God wants us to prosper...
To avoid these stumbling blocks...
So we always might be ready
If upon our door He knocks.
He has good things in store for us
(If we do not fall behind).
Excuses and denial block the truth
And, sadly, make us blind.
"He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich."
Proverbs 10:4 KJV
"The substance of a diligent man is precious."
Proverbs 12:27 KJV
