THE BLAME GAME
II Kings 6:24-25, 33b
"And it happened after this that Ben Hadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria. And there was a great famine in Samaria, and indeed they besieged it....then the king said, 'Surely this calamity is from the LORD; why should I wait for the LORD any longer?"
The king of Israel was playing the blame game. He blamed God and the man of God for the calamities that beset him and the nation. He even threatened to kill Elisha (vs. 31) thinking that would solve the problems, instead of considering that his own sin and failure was the cause. I guess it is human nature to blame others for my misfortune rather than taking responsibility for myself. But blaming others – especially the Lord Who is the answer – does not solve the problems.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: Instead of blaming others for my misfortune, I need to take an honest evaluation of myself.

Have an honest day. Love you.
