In the Garden account we can read how Eve blamed the serpent for her sin. We also can read about Adam blaming Eve for his sin. When Moses came down off of Mount Sinai he found the people worshipping a golden calf. When Moses asked Aaron, he tried to pass the buck for his own actions. As we move through life we’d do well to remember we are not responsible for everything that happens, but we are responsible to how we respond to what happens. When you don't perform up to par professionally, personally, or spiritually you've got two choices. You can fix the blame or you can fix the problem by accepting responsibility. The first step toward spiritual wholeness is taking responsibility. From there, by God’s grace you can begin to move forward.
