Taking Responsibility

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Genesis 3:1-13

Worship song: I Surrender

 


Meditation:

    The lack of accountability is one of the contributing factors that leads to conflict, especially in relationships. When individuals fail to take responsibility for their actions, it can lead to mistrust and hinder the ability to resolve issues effectively. Rather than taking responsibility for his disobedience, Adam attempted to shift the blame to Eve. Eve, in turn, blames the serpent for beguiling her. 

    Shifting the blame mechanism to avoid punishment only creates animosity, fosters resentment, and erodes trust. Blame shifting still exists in today's society. Individuals are likely to blame others for problems rather than take responsibility for their own actions. Galatians 6:5 informs us that individuals will be judged based on their own actions and deeds, not the actions of others. Many innocent persons have been punished for deeds they have not committed all because of someone's lack of accountability. 

    Whenever you decide to shift the blame, think about the drastic impact it will have on someone innocent. Let us be accountable for our actions, for we shall appear before the judgment seat of Christ to give an account of our actions, whether they be good or evil.

Let us pray:

    Dear Heavenly Father, please accept glory, honor, and praise as we offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto you this morning. Righteous Judge, we stand accused before you for our lack of accountability. We seek your forgiveness for we are guilty of shifting the blame to others instead of accepting responsibility. Pardon us, O God, for the times we have wrongfully accused others of our acts of disobedience. Forgive us, Lord, for the blame mechanism we used to avoid punishment for our deeds. We seek daily cleansing and purification of our hearts and minds, O God. We express our gratitude to you for extending mercy to those of us who have been falsely accused due to the lack of accountability of others. We seek your help and divine intervention, Lord God, for we have all sinned and fallen short of your perfect standard. Guide us, Heavenly Father, to live according to your standards in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.

Have a peaceful day. ✌🙏

    As mentioned. Taking responsibility is a key resolve in many situations also the transfer of guilt instead of taking responsibility. This is something everyone must be aware of because too often the guilty walk free and the innocent face undeserved consequences. God bless you my sister for maintaining an active though process. 🙏🙏

During Difficult Moments

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Daniel 3:23-25 Worship song: Through The Fire   Meditation:      There will be seasons of pain, brokenness, heartache, and struggles. There will be times when our faith is tested and our hope is shattered. There will be times when we will encounter great tribulation. We will be despised by our fellow men, afflicted, rejected, condemned, and humiliated, but think it not strange concerning the fiery trials that will try you. The Hebrew boys' faith was tested and tried, but they remained resilient, fervent, and steadfast, trusting God and exercising faith while their oppressors maliciously schemed and plotted against them.       Don't think it strange when, as believers, these things happen; don't be alarmed or panic, but rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for when the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, you will be numbered among the faithful. Be cognizant of the fact that there is no trial or struggle that y...

The Death of The Wicked

Good morning Scripture reading: Ezekiel 33: 1-20 Praise song: Only a Look   Meditation:      All of us have an appointment with death, which we cannot cancel, for all must die. Nevertheless, there is a difference between the death of the sinner and the death of the redeemed. When the redeemed die, they will one day be resurrected to eternal life, but the ungodly to eternal torment in the lake of fire prepared for Satan and his cohorts of darkness. While Jesus was speaking to his disciples, he cautioned them not to fear those who destroy the body, but rather to fear him who can destroy both soul and body.        Those who die in Christ should not fear death, for death is not their final destiny. Those who die while meddling in their sin and wickedness, refusing to surrender to Christ, will receive the wrath of God as their reward. Jehovah God declares that he finds no joy, no pleasure in the death of the wicked, and no pleasure in the pun...

Seeking The Lost at Any Cost

By

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 15:1-7 Worship song: Ninety and Nine   Meditation:      After an extensive search for a misplaced document that held significant importance, I experienced an overwhelming amount of frustration and anxiety. Finally, I decided to discontinue the search and reluctantly accepted the possibility of its loss, though I remain hopeful. Reflecting on this experience, I imagine the Lord's feelings when the ones he loved turn away from him and refuse to surrender. When we resist his call, we must remember we are precious and valuable in God's sight and his love is unconditional. His desire for us is for us to turn from our sinful ways and seek Him earnestly.       God takes no pleasure in the demise of the ungodly and does not wish for anyone to perish in their transgressions. Our shepherd, Jesus Christ, stands ready to guide us away from the path of destruction and lead us out of the wilderness of sin. God ...

An Influenced Mind

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Romans 12:1-2 Worship song: Change My Heart Oh God   Meditation:      It is important to realize that our minds can be profoundly influenced by the performance, attitude, moral standards, conduct, actions, and spoken words of others, whether negatively or positively. When we allow ourselves to be persuaded by flattery, praise, and compliments, we risk letting our lives be fashioned by others' opinions instead of our convictions. We must remember that Satan is a master of manipulation, seeking to invade and control our thoughts to influence our actions. We must be able to discern and recognize deceptive influences.       When we focus our minds on Christ, the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will safeguard our minds. Our minds are influenced by what we gravitate to, so it is vital to keep our minds focused on God and his precepts. Be not deceived; evil communications corrupt good manners. If...
