Brooklyn was upset! She couldn’t do her schoolwork with the cat on her paper. She had a choice: give up or deal with the problem. Jen reminded her that it wasn’t time to quit; it was time to move the cat!
Some excuses sound better than others, but that doesn’t mean they’re any good! Proverbs 26:13 says, “The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.” At first that sounds like a really good reason to stay home and not go to work, but the context makes it clear that this was actually an imaginary lion, maybe the possibility that a lion COULD be there. Apparently if you can’t find a good excuse, make one up! But that’s no way to live. Throughout each day, we have a choice to find excuses to “allow” us to be lazy or find reasons to get busy making a difference. So let’s “move the cat” or whatever else might be in the way and get busy serving God today.
