"He did it mom!" he said. "No, I didn't, you did!" she
yelled back.
If you are a parent, or grandparent or just lived around children for any length of time, you have heard them blaming each other for something they have done and wanted to shift the blame onto someone else.
But of course, this is not just a problem with our kids.
Have you ever known anyone that blames everyone else for everything bad that has happened to them?
Maybe you have done that.
Maybe I have.
The thing is, we have all done it at one time or another.
And of course, it has its roots in the beginning of the world when Adam and Eve blamed each other in the garden.
Genesis 3:11-13
It did not go well with God for them to blame each other.
Nor does it go well with Him when we do it today.
When we mess up however, remember that we need to confess our sin to Him. And then we should tell the person we are sorry that we blamed them for something they didn't do. God will forgive us. And hopefully the other person will too.
That's God's way.
Isn't it?
Thanks for coming by today, Friends.
God bless you!
