You must take responsibility for your life instead of blaming others.<\/i> In the Garden of Eden when God asked Adam why he had eaten from the tree, he blamed his wife: \u2018The woman You gave me\u2026 gave me the fruit, and I ate.\u2019<\/i> (Genesis 3:12 NLT) <\/p>\n
Then we read, \u2018The woman said, \u201cThe serpent deceived me.\u201d\u2019<\/i> (Genesis 3:13 NKJV) Eve blamed the devil. So did God accept their excuses? No. He said to Adam: \u2018Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and\u2026 eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, \u201cYou shall not eat of it,\u201d cursed is the ground for your sake; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life. Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you.\u2019<\/i> (Genesis 3:17\u201318 NKJV)<\/p>\n
And God told Eve, \u2018I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in pain you shall bring forth children; your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.\u2019<\/i> (Genesis 3:16 NKJV) After those words were spoken, Adam and Eve were banished from Paradise. <\/p>\n
\u2018Since God is all-knowing,\u2019 you ask, \u2018how come He got angry with Adam and Eve?\u2019 Because neither one would take responsibility for their actions! When you sin, God will readily forgive you (see Nehemiah 9:17). What He won\u2019t accept, however, is obfuscating, rationalising, justifying, excusing, and blaming. His Word says, \u2018He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.\u2019<\/i> (Proverbs 28:13 NKJV) So if you want to move forward, you must take responsibility for your life!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
