WHO'S FAULT IS IT?

Isa 50:1-3
50:1 The LORD asks, "Did I sell you as slaves to my creditors? Is that why you are not here? Is your mother gone because I divorced her and sent her away? No, you went away as captives because of your sins. And your mother, too, was taken because of your sins. 2 Was I too weak to save you? Is that why the house is silent and empty when I come home? Is it because I have no power to rescue? No, that is not the reason! For I can speak to the sea and make it dry! I can turn rivers into deserts covered with dying fish. 3 I am the one who sends darkness out across the skies, bringing it to a state of mourning." NLT** All the trouble and all the pain that we go thru in life and it seems everyone wants to blame someone else for their hurt etc. So where do they end up? Blaming God! It’s always easy to blame someone who it seems like will not defend themselves. But God will defend Himself. He will not just sit back and let people blame Him for their problems without responding in one way or another. Of course this blame game started with the first two people on the earth. Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the serpent….. and now, we blame God. God responds to His own question by saying, “You went away as captives BECAUSE OF YOUR SINS.” So when all these people in the world come to you and cry and whine about why God would allow all this evil to exist, remind them that it’s not God’s fault, it’s ours and there is only one way to change it…. REPENT….
