Yes, this is another call to the altar. Columbia, SC, city residents elected their first black mayor, Steve Benjamin. He was already number one where he lead in the first voting process but was still too close. This time there was a record turnout in the runoff. Unfortunately, his victory celebration was short. The next morning, he collided with a 61year old woman who was critically injured and is now on life support. Life can change within seconds and we still take it for granted. We can't believe it can happen to us and it's harder to believe when it does. Please pray for both of these families and the victims. Then pray for yourselves that we gain wisdom, patience, and a sincere relationship with God.
We often look for excuses when things don’t go our way, shifting the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own choices. But excuses only grow stronger the more we feed them. This same pattern shows up when it comes to doing what’s right—we stay silent, waiting for someone else to step forward, rather than holding ourselves accountable. “What’s your excuse now?” is a challenge to stop hiding behind hesitation and a sense of true comfort in our own skin.
