Lets Blame God

Scripture Ruth 1:21 I went out full, and the LORD has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the LORD has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?”

Observation: Of course all of the bad things that happen to us is God’s fault, it can’t have anything to do with us. You hear it all of the time if a loved one dies or gets very sick, if we lose our job or something dear to us, it must be God’s fault. We are so easy to blame, but slow to praise. We take our prosperous time and assume that is the way it should be without giving God glory for His provision, but once they are taken away or disturbed in any way we are asking God why. Instead of asking God why we should be asking Him what do you desire of me or what do you want me to learn my Lord. I wonder how many people thank God for when a love one passes, that He has provided them with an eternal home free of pain and full of joy for all of eternity. God gives us everything and sometimes things must be taken away before we realize that He is the provider of all.

Application: I need to get down on my knees more often to thank my Lord for all that I have and the things He has in store for me. I need to have a grateful heart and an attitude of gratitude constantly. I need to see how God is working in my life no matter what the circumstances are so that I can follow Him completely. My life belongs to God and it is a gift for me to be used for His glory and not mine.

Prayer: My Lord thank you for all the blessing you have given me and I’m thankful for the trials you have gotten me through. Open my eyes to see the path you want me on and help me keep on task and not get distracted. I’m proud to be called your servant may I serve you in a way that pleases you.
