The Commission of Omission
That Is
Without Excuse

“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.”

Romans 1:20

WithoutExcuse Everyday we see the miracle of life all around.

From the darkness of winter bursting into the new life of spring, to the beautiful birth of a newborn baby or the majesty of a thousand stars alighting the night sky it is clear that the hand of 'something greater' than ourselves is - and has been - at work.

It is often easy to take all these miracles of life for granted as we rush through the constant scrolling of day to day living without giving much thought to the power that infuses not only the world and universe, but the very breath and heartbeats that we presumably enjoy every day.

Today’s scripture verse from the Book of Romans reminds us of a thought-provoking question...

What if we were to stand before the Almighty,
having Never Given Thanks
for the life and light given to us in this life
What Would We Be Able To Say?

That answer would be NO ANSWER because those that have never given this a thought would be standing there dumbfounded and clearly Without Excuse

Now of course, if there is no god and no accounting for our life this is a specious question, yet no one can deny “...the creation of the world ... clearly seen” and the life you have been given and enjoy.

So please take this moment to ponder this question and consider and be thankful for all that life in this world is and consider the freely offered gift of Eternal Life that God is calling out to all that will hear and accept.

Friend, take a moment and be thankful for your life, and then consider this; that the one who is responsible for all you are, see, and do is patiently waiting...for you.
