“The Woman said, “The Serpent deceived me.””
Genesis 3: 13 NIV
One thing is clear as day, no matter what we
are all going to stand before the Lord God one day. Look at what happened to
Eve. God spoke to the three
culprits. Adam started saying "the
woman gave me the fruit and I ate it." Eve then turned on the serpent
saying "the serpent deceived me." Does this sound familiar?
Yes, we all seem to blame someone for something
in our own lives. Oh, you do not blame people? I think we all do that. When I
find myself in a corner; I start blaming other people for my predicament.
I wonder if I will ever get past this problem?
Am I going to be the victim in every situation?
I started taking responsibility for my own
life. When something comes up; I will admit I made a mistake. A point to take
note of is checking one's filters. Before you say something; think before you
speak.
How am I going to turn this problem around to
my advantage? I need to accept who I am. I need to understand what hurts me and
deal with it. I want my circumstance to improve. How will I do this? Start with
me. I know I have many issues.
"As a man thinketh, so is he." I am
thinking positively, I am responsible and will make it. My future is in my
hands, I am able to steer the course.
Prayer
O LORD, You know I
have been speaking to You about so many issues in my own life. I want to humbly
come before You, I want to take responsibility for my own life. I want to be
the change I want to see. Please Lord, place a guard over my heart, my mouth
and my eyes. Help me to watch my words and actions towards all the people in my
life. I am able to take responsibility and I am doing this today. In Christ
Jesus Name, Amen.
