Who is to blame? - FOR READING & MEDITATION — JAMES 1:13—15
‘When tempted, no-one should say, ‘God is tempting me.’ For God cannot be tempted
by evil, nor does he tempt anyone ...“ (v.13)
The problem of temptation is a perennial one — something that stays with us
through all the seasons of life. Some Christians blame God whenever they succumb
to temptation. I heard one Christian remark: “God allowed me to get into those
circumstances. He knew I was too weak to resist, so He must take His share of
the blame.” Blame-shifting and an unwillingness to accept responsibility has
been common since the time of Adam and Eve. Do you remember what Adam said when
God confronted him over the question of his sin? “The woman you put here with me
— she gave me some fruit from the tree” (Gen. 3:12). One preacher commenting on
this text said: “Adam faced up to God’s challenge like a man — and blamed it on
his wife!”
A refusal to accept responsibility is an immature response to life. A man
who went to a non-Christian psychiatrist because in a fit of temper he had
killed his cat and blackened his wife’s eyes was told by the psychiatrist, he
had acted in this way because of a number of unfortunate things that had
happened to him in his developmental years. “You are not to blame,” soothed the
psychiatrist. “Others have made you the way you are.
If we are to be mature we must stop blaming God for our difficulties and face up
to the fact that it is not what happens to us that is important, but the way we
respond to it. Though we may not be responsible for what occurs, we are
responsible for the way in which we react. Until we learn that we remain
immature personalities. We fail to grow up.
