It is NOT God's Fault!

Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy that it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you so that He will not hear. (Isaiah 59:1-2)


No blame shifting . . . No he said/she said. . . No pointing fingers. It's me, it's me standing in the need of prayer!


Many times we place the blame of our sin on others.  The devil may tempt us, but we choose to sin. People may push our buttons, but we allow those buttons to be exposed. Like Paul, we do what we do not want to do and do not do what we should do! (Romans 7:15-20) 


As we struggle through this life, let's call it what it is . . . our sin can change everything about a day. 


Let's take personal responsibility and come to grips with our condition and trust a God who stands ready and willing to step in where we fall short. Let's set the example and humbly fall to our knees and seek His grace and walk in His strength! 


Put that armor on soldier!
