This is a phrase that I often hear and it really, really bugs me. It is interesting that people don’t give God any thought or acknowledgment except when something bad happens.

People have gotten things all twisted. They think that God is a punishing God. The biggest problem is that people don’t even know God nor do they take the time to know Him. Yet they are quick to blame Him if something goes wrong.

We need to look and learn about God. In the King James Bible, John 10:10 says

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

In this verse “the thief” is referred to as Satan and “I” is referred to as God.

I find it really interested that when something bad happen they blame God. Something is a little backwards here. God gives life abundantly. Satan, the thief, comes to steal, kill and destroy.

In, 1 John 4:8 it says, “He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.”

Something is really not making sense here. In the scripture above it says, “God is love.” The statement people often say, “Why did God let this happen?” really doesn’t go with to with who God is.

If God created us, why would he want to hurt us? If you built a house would you turn around and destroy it or wreak it after you finish building it? This really doesn’t make any sense does it?

Isn’t it time to put the blame where it is due and the give the credit to where it is due?

Should we not start thanking God rather than blaming Him?
