You walk into a room where three children are playing. One child is crying and the other two quickly proclaim in unison, “I didn’t do it!” Familiar scene?
Adam and Eve are in the garden. God sees that they have eaten the forbidden fruit and questions them: Adam exclaims: “It was the woman You gave me who brought me some and I ate it.…………Eve answers: “The serpent tricked me, and I did eat.” Genesis 3:12, 13 LB. You remember this?
Many times we do not want to take the credit for our wrong decisions.
We, like children and like Adam and Eve, heroically hang on to our own goodness and innocence.
Seeing our own faults and telling the truth about them is difficult. It is often the opposite of human nature.
But in recognizing our own weaknesses, we become more receptive to God’s plan for our lives.
“Most men [women, boys, girls] will proclaim each his own goodness, but who can find a faithful man?” Proverbs 20:6.
When we are faithful to His Word, we have a mirror into our own actions and can take responsibility for our mistakes instead of always blaming another.
May He always find us faithful…………..
Have a blessed day!
