Who Is To Blame
Isaiah 50: 1-5
Blame-shifting seems to have become a national sport. When we do something wrong, we often blame circumstances, heredity, other people, the church, fate, or even God.
The people of Israel had the same trouble. Instead of recognizing their Babylonian captivity as God’s punishment, they blamed it on him! Not only did the people fail to listen to God’s voice, but they also ignored him completely (v:2).
Don’t get caught in the blame game. Take responsibility for your actions. Ask God for forgiveness. Then you will be able to hear his voice and follow his ways.
