THE BLAME GAME

And if someone asks, “Then what about those wounds on your chest?”

he will say, ‘I was wounded at my friends’ house.’

Zechariah 13:6 (NLT)

ACCEPTING CORRECTION

When someone disagrees with you completely

You usually react or respond inevitably

Sometimes your loved ones correct you

You quickly take action against them and later rue

How many times have you actually hurt yourself?

You make wrong choices and you really need help

Your pride is nudged when they want to correct you

They want your best interest in everything you do.

The context of the verse above points to the way a false prophet covers up for his deception. He points and blames that his friend wounded him so he could pretend that he is an authentic prophet. This verse clearly shows us our nature to blame. We don’t accept correction easily. What comes out naturally is pointing our fingers at someone else when we are wronged or misunderstood.  The spirit of offense automatically overcomes us.  Instead of having an open mind to accept that we might be wrong too, we play the blame game. In doing so, we absolve ourselves of the responsibility over sin. Then, the cycle of pride goes on. It takes time to admit we have a part in the offence. Forgiveness becomes harder. We are trapped again in sin.

PRAYER

Lord show and teach me how to avoid being offended.

REFLECTION

Why do you think “correction” is essential?

  4. Hi there this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use
    WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how
    so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
    Any help would be enormously appreciated!

  16. I was curious if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your site?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or
    two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
