Default The Blame Game

The Blame Game

Read 1 Kings 17:1 through 18:46

King Ahab blamed Elijah, calling him the “troubler of Israel.” Elijah confronted him with the truth that it was Ahab and his father’s family that brought trouble on Israel when they abandoned God’s commands (1 Kings 18:17,18).

People still blame others for their problems today. It is much like children getting mad at parents for disciplining their bad behavior. Shame, guilt, pride, or fear of consequences may be the motivation, but broken relationships are the result.

Admitting that we’ve done wrong is the first step to changing behavior. It paves the way to forgiveness, restored relationships, and peace. Our Heavenly Father allowed the penalty for all sin to be paid by His Son Jesus because He loves us and wants a relationship with us. When we enter into that saving relationship with Him, we shouldn’t blame others for our wrong attitudes, words, and actions. Instead, with a humble heart we should sincerely say, “What I did was wrong. I’m sorry.”

Taking responsibility builds character which leads to maturity and healthy relationships. There may be consequences, but they too help us mature and make better choices.

Prayer Suggestion: Father, thank You for setting me free from guilt and blame.

Quicklook: 1 Kings 18:7–18 God's Word For Today
