Bible Verse of The Day – 3-23-19

Genesis 3:13 (NKJV) 13 And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

It’s important that when we have done something wrong, and we know it, we don’t try to pass the blame.

It doesn’t matter who tempted us. It doesn’t matter what the reason is that we did what we did.

If God was to say to us, “what have YOU done?”, it’s imperative that we own up to it, admit it and repent.

When we keep putting the blame on others, we don’t see what we need to see in ourselves. And we will never change what is needed to be changed.

We don’t get fixed, we keep on doing what we do and then we wonder why we are in the state we are in.

You notice how God asked the woman, “What is this you have done?” He’s God. He knew already what she had done, and He even gave her a hint, by saying “YOU”. He gave her a chance to own up to it. Yes, there was temptation there, but she still did it.

Owning up to our error is the beginning of change for us. Who wants to get serious and change?

When God comes to us with the same question, “what is this you have done?”, pick up on the hint and spill the beans, so to speak. Don’t start by putting the blame on someone or something else. He already knows the story and is waiting for us to admit it.

There is something about saying it with our own mouths, hearing it with our own voice and owning it with our own hearts. That’s when God can begin to deal with the root of it.

Amen.
