No Execuses

After landing his invasion forces on the shores of a particular country, the sixteenth-century Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés would immediately burn his own boats. He was sending his army a message: "We can't turn back. Either we succeed here or we die here."

Burn the boats...throw off everything that hinders...

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles,
and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
~ Hebrews 12.1 ~

So how do we do this...how do we allow for Excuses to not be an option?

Answer: We focus...we fix our eyes on Jesus. Christ focused. Even knowing His death was upon Him, He was able to stay on course for His mission because of His focus:

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
~ Hebrews 12.2 ~

Let's go forward today, having no room for excuses. Let's burn our boats, focus, and fix our eyes on Jesus, just as He focused His life on His mission in order to make our lives super abundant...This will open up the ability for us to make the most of every opportunity that God has mercifully granted us!

...make the most of every opportunity.

~ From Colossians 4:2-6 ~
