People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then are angry at the Lord.
-Psalm 19:3(NLT)
WHY BLAME GOD?
A poem and essay by ILMA
Why do people tend to blame others?
It ruins us when we do it to one another
When we point to someone to blame
It just reinforces the feelings of shame.
Why blame God for something you did?
Why do the things he actually forbids?
Don’t destroy your life by fault-finding
Live in his truth; choose to stop sinning.________________________________________
It is human nature to point fingers to someone and not be responsible for the consequences of our own choices. It takes humility to be able to admit the wrong we’ve done and move forward with a mistake that we caused ourselves to experience. Ownership to material things is very easy to do but taking responsibility for our own actions involves a spiritual maturity which only comes from having a deep relationship with the Lord. I find it childish to blame God for things that we are dissatisfied or angry about. It is a picture of a spoiled brat having a tantrum fit to get his or her way. But, I am sure that if we can be honest, we probably have thrown fits ourselves maybe once or even more in our lifetime. The bible says that if we blame God and get angry with him, we are only ruining our lives.

PRAYER
Lord, give me the humility to admit and take responsibility when I am wrong.
REFLECTION
When was the last time you blamed God or someone? What resulted from it?

Don’t point your fingers at someone else and try to pass the blame. – Hosea 4:4 (NLT)
ON BLAMING
A poem and essay by ILMA
What do you do when someone points their finger at you?
Do you react and defend yourself or assess their point of view?
When you blame somebody about something
They only resort to defending or reacting
Blaming is a cowardly way of facing reality
It shows that someone doesn’t want to take responsibility
Blaming is not taking the log out of your own eye
It will only create conflicts and generate more lies.
________________________________________
Blaming is defined as assigning responsibility for a fault or a wrong. Who wants to accept a blame? I think no one would readily admit that they want to take the blame. Humans automatically wants to veer away from looking bad. They always want to look good especially in public. What is the result of blaming? It usually ends up in defense and fights. One person points a finger and the response would be to point back at another fault of that other person. It is a never-ending cycle of who is right. Blaming is a toxic act. It fuels people into destroying unity and harmony. It is very tiring to be with people who always blames and never take responsibility for anything. The bible warns us not to point our fingers on someone or try to pass the blame. It shows irresponsibility and immaturity.
PRAYER
Lord, help me never to blame.
REFLECTION
Why do you think the bible warns us not to blame? What does it do to others?
