our fault

Proverbs 19:3 A man's own folly ruins his life,
yet his heart rages against the LORD. (NIV)
or
Proverbs 19:3 People ruin their lives by their own stupidity,
so why does God always get blamed? (Message)

Sometimes I feel bad when God gets the blame, when people are not able to take responsibility for their own actions. It's always easier to blame someone else. Luckily, God is big enough to handle whatever people throw at Him. The person who suffers the most in this is the person who is blaming God and therefore blocking their own growth potential.

I pray that You keep my ears and eyes open to see my stupidity and help me to correct it

Proverbs

I am now in Proverbs. There is a lot in it. A lot to digest.
A good summary of what is being said comes from the Book of Common Prayer
"Give us such an awareness of your mercies, that our hearts may be sincerely thankful, and that we may show forth your praise not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up ourselves to your service, and by walking before you in holiness and righteousness all our days"
