When things go wrong in life, naturally the first thing a person does is ask themself why. Us human beings always want to understand what is happening and why it is happening. Normally in the midst of our search for answers, someone catches the blame.
For example, if a marriage is failing, normally you will find the husband blaming the wife and vice-versa. No one likes to take the blame on themself. People naturally have a habit of pointing the finger.
In the world, the one that gets most of the blame is God. I’ve heard it said a thousand times, “if God is real, then why are so many bad things happening”? Another thing they say is, “God is punishing me”. But all of these sayings and ideas are totally wrong.
God has absolutely no pleasure in your suffering. On the contrary, He wants to help you change the situation in your life. He even states it in His Word;
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:30
If His burden is light, then how could a burden like cancer, divorce, depression, debt, emptiness, and any other like them, come from Him? Never!
Instead of blaming God, why not call upon Him with all of your strength and ask for His help. Why not place your life and your all in His hands and trust Him to help you fix it? Why not dare to believe in His word enough to challenge it for a better life?
Stop blaming and start acting in faith, and change your life.
May the God of the Bible bless you
