Taking Responsibility

26 Nov 13 devotional from, Experiencing God

No one is responsible for your actions except you. When you sin, though you may be TEMPTED by others, you are the one that is acting on that temptation; you have the control, use it.

Playing the blame game goes back to the beginning of time. Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the serpent, but ultimately there was no blame to pass, because they were both at fault for not taking control of their temptations. The same goes for you and me today… There are so many temptations and snares in our lives that we could easily fall into and then dig our way out of while burying other people in the process. Rather than throwing your companions under the bus and blaming them, just take your concerns straight to Jesus. Ask for help and forgiveness, and He will provide.
