Benjamin Franklin once said, “He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.” It’s easy to explain why you can’t get that project done, why you can’t apply for that job, or why that failure wasn’t your fault. The truth is, we all need to take responsibility for our actions. But we also need to realize that we do not carry the weight of our responsibilities alone. We cannot accomplish anything without God’s help. Do not get overwhelmed by the burden of your obligations. When you understand that the Holy Spirit will help you, the temptation to make excuses will diminish. Do you despair that you can’t succeed? Remember you are not alone. Look to the One who can help you prosper.
