Do Not Blame Others

Leviticus 5:5

When anyone is guilty of any of these things, he must tell how he sinned.

God showed Ezekiel the sins of His people in Jerusalem. God took him in a vision to the temple where they looked inside at what the people were doing.

Verse 12 writes that the elders of Israel were acting as if God had forsaken the earth and He had no way to see them. Because of their silly assumption, the people of Israel had worshipped images of beasts and reptiles as if finding satisfaction in things other than God.

God never leaves his children. In fact, God had called and embraced them many times, yet they refused Him. Eventually, they blamed God, saying that God had forgotten about them. How hurtful it was when God heard this! They were in a mess due to their own sins and led to finding false gods.

As part of our spiritual growth, we have to learn to admit our mistake or sin, and repent, instead of blaming others. Pointing fingers and placing blame on others will only drag you further in the wrong path.

Prayer

Dear God, give me the courage to take responsibility for every action I take, always do what is right, and confess my sin when I am in the wrong. Amen.
