Passing the Buck
Genesis 3:1-13: “Then the Lord God said… “What is it you have done?” (v.13). “I’m over here, Lord,” Adam responded when God called his name. “I was afraid, so I hid.” “What happened?” asked God. “Did you eat from that tree I wanted you to leave alone?” “Yes, but it was that woman’s idea.” said Adam. “It wasn’t really my fault,” excused Eve. “That sneaky serpent tricked me.” Adam blamed Eve. Eve blamed the serpent. It was the first game of “Pass the Buck” in human history. Some of us may still be playing this game. We neglect to accept responsibility before God for our own feelings, thoughts and behavior. We say it’s our boss’s fault that we missed our child’s baseball game, when we schedule the appointments. We may blame our spouse for failing to allow us to finish school, when we are the ones who gave up too Each one of us has a choice. We can choose to accept the things we can’t change, and learn to act on the things we can change. We gain self-respect when we decide to stop blaming others for our dilemmas and start taking responsibility for our own choices. Lord, I’m the one responsible for my attitudes and actions. Help me to stop playing the blaming game. Joan C. Webb
