Stirred By The Scriptures

I have noticed that we love to place the blame on anyone or anything other than ourselves. Truth is, it is in the genes. From the very first sin of Adam and Eve the “Blame Game” began. Adam blamed Eve and God, Eve blamed the serpent and the game was under way. Centuries later it is still being played. No one know the score, the only real important rule is - don’t blame me! God receives more than his fair share of blame when life doesn’t work the way we hoped it would or when awful things happen that we can’t explain. Why is it so hard to accept responsibility for our own actions and decisions? If we did we would hold ourselves accountable for our choices, there would be no one else to blame and we might begin to grow up.
