BLAME GAME 

I vividly recall the confession of an old neighbor to my late father. This aging neighbor felt condemned because his son would frequently chastise him for not leaving an inheritance for him.

“I was just a lower-level government employee with limited means and education. I stretched my income to provide good education, housing, and food for all my children. There was nothing left to save each month," the old neighbor confided with tears in his eyes. 

Isn’t it so easy to become more conscious of what we do not have instead of recognizing what we do have?

Such an attitude easily blinds us to the goodness and grace within each of our families—made manifest in the earnest prayers and sacrifices, protection and provision we all received during our growing up years. Like the sick man by the pool, when we start blaming people or circumstances in frustration, we unknowingly fail to see the doors of deliverance and breakthroughs which God presents to us. 

If we desire a good life, we must resist our human inclination to grumble and complain. Such hardness of heart stalls the very entry of God’s grace into our situation. You can only enter into the presence or courts of God, the very seat of your divine favors, with an attitude of gratitude. 

"Lord, help me access all the answers for my burdens and failures by walking with confidence into Your presence with a grateful heart."

He is longing to flood our lives with fulfilled desires and abundant provisions. 

We can only enter God’s court with a heart filled with gratitude. We thank and praise the One who CAN deliver us from those problems. Grumbling, complaining, or accusing prayers will leave us outside the courts of God!
