WHO IS TO BLAME?

Who is to blame?

Shadows fall and the tide rolls out each and every day

Marking the end of one earthly cycle and the beginning of another.

Life goes on it seems whether we make any effort at it or not.

We all have a choice - we can either jump into the middle of the fray

Or we can just stand there silently and weakly, just "watching".

So who is to blame if we don't succeed? Is it the devil because he hates us so?

Is it God's fault that we don't accomplish anything because we haven't been gifted?

Maybe it's our neighbor's fault because he has a lot better luck than we do?

It could be out parent's fault - remember that gift that you didn't get on your 10th birthday?

We all have the freedom of choice - none of us have been preprogrammed to succeed or fail

But if we truly are the Father's own - we each have a divine destiny to fulfill at some point.

Timing - that's the keyword. God has his own timeline and we each foolishly have our own.

What might take us years on our own to accomplish, God can cause to happen overnight.

Things that God could cause to happen supernaturally overnight - we can bring to a standstill

Or cause it not to happen at all, simply because of our stubbornness or our lack of spiritual growth.

We want what we want when we want it - sound familiar? God has a lot of attitude to put up with.

Our heavenly Father wants the best for us - he truly wants us to pursue our dreams - but he also wants

Our attention and our obedience - it really is a fair trade off.

So, who are YOU going to blame?
