Bible Reading: Genesis 3:9-15
And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.” Genesis 3:12
God put our first parents in the garden of Eden to care for it and enjoy all the good things in it. But the devil came and deceived the woman to disobey God and eventually Adam too disobeyed. When God came down calling for man and asking why they have disobeyed His instruction, the blame game started. Each of them started shifting blame.
God who is patient and longsuffering asked the woman to explain what happened, she too pushed the blame to the serpent. If they had simply acknowledged their sinfulness and begged for forgiveness, the human race will not be in the mess we are in today. Their disobedience corrupted and made us dirty before God. We all inherited the nature of sin and wickedness. This is the reason many children often pass off their wrong doings to others. Some children even when caught red-handed will still blame someone else for their disobedience. God wants us to be humble enough to accept responsibility for our wrong doings. Do not shift the blame, repent and ask God to have mercy on you.
