Today's devotion. NO EXCUSE FOR FAILURE

NO EXCUSE FOR FAILURE!
(BATTLES, DEFEATS & VICTORIES)

Tuesday July 7, 2015.

Francis Parkman, Jr. (Sept. 16, 1823 – Nov. 8, 1893), was an American historian. Best known as author of The Oregon Trail, Sketches of Prairie and Rocky-Mountain Life and his monumental seven-volume France and England in North America. He was briefly a Professor of Horticulture at Harvard University and author of several books.

Parkman's accomplishments are all the more impressive in light of the fact that he suffered from a debilitating neurological illness, which plagued him his entire life. He was often unable to walk, and for long periods he was effectively blind. His eyesight was so bad that he could scrawl only on a few giangantic words on a manuscript, but he wrote twenty magnificent volumes of history.

"But Moses said to the LORD, 'Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech'". Exodus 4:10 (EVS)

Man is ranked by the number of problems he solves. Many of the psalms were born in difficulties. Most epistles were written in prisons. Excuses are just omissions to opportunities. Poverty, lack, disability, frailty, etc, are all privileges given to man to prove his status and stand out from the crowd.

Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kenedy, Bill Gates, Mandella, Martin Luther King Jr., were all from poor backgrounds. So go hit the roof; see you at the top!

Father i pray that you help me to take advantage of my inabilities in Jesus name; Amen.

Read: Exodus 4
