Why Do You Blame God by Henry Miranda

Proverbs 19:3 (NKJV) The foolishness of a man twists his way, and his heart frets against the LORD.
We have all been there we blame God for certain things in our life, it’s so easy to put the blame on something other than yourself. Something we think we can do no wrong and on the contrary, we make so many mistakes. I have made so many mistakes in my life and I cannot go around blaming God for it was my choices in life for me to make.

 

Are you always blaming God for your problems? We should never blame or be angry at God, especially for our own foolishness, mistakes, and sins. We may say things like, “God, why didn’t you stop me from making that decision?  Or why did you put that person in my life who caused me to sin? Why didn’t you protect me?”

 

God has nothing to do with evil only Satan does we must never forget that. God has never promised that Christians won’t suffer in this life. What is your response to pain? When times get tough, we should never complain and say, “It’s Gods fault”.

 

We should use the adversity in our life to cherish God more. Know that God is in control of the situation and all things working together for good. Instead of looking for every excuse to blame Him, we need to trust in Him at all times.

 

When bad things happen even if it’s your fault, use it to grow as a Christian. If God said He will work in your life and He will help you through trials as a Christian, then He will do just that. Don’t just tell God you’re going to trust Him, you must actually trust God.

 

Have you ever asked, or heard anyone else ask: “If God is so ‘loving,’ why is there so much suffering in the world?” Or, “Why is life so unfair?” Or, “What have I done to deserve this?” Or, “How can God allow babies to be born deformed?” Or, “Why doesn’t God do something about all the misery of humanity?” It seems that “God has His reasons,” even though we do not understand them

 

As Christians, we can be prone, in our pain, to point a finger and raise a fist at God. If we believe in God at all, we should believe he is bigger and stronger than we can even fathom.

 

We know God does whatever he pleases (Psalm 115:3; 135:6), nothing happens outside his control (Lamentations 3:37–38; Job 2:10; Proverbs 16:33; Matthew 10:29), he will accomplish all his plans (Job 42:2; Isaiah 46:10; Daniel 4:35), Even when others mean evil against us, God means it for good (Genesis 50:20). He is stronger than any threat against us, and whatever he lovingly allows into our lives, he does so for our full and final good, even as it is indeed painful, not pleasant (Hebrews 12:11).

 

We talk about God bringing trials into our lives, and God tests us, and we should. “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness” (James 1:2–3). And yet we need to be careful, as our vision of his sovereignty expands, that we not attribute something to him in a way the Scriptures do not.

James himself, sensing a possible misunderstanding of his powerful rally to count our trials as joy, wants to make sure we know God is not the dispenser of evil in the same way he is the giver of good. He stands sovereignty over both good and evil, but he stands directly behind good, and indirectly, as it were, over evil.

 

God is indeed fully and utterly in control of his world, from the biggest details to the very smallest. He does bring suffering and pain into our lives — but never in such a way that he is the one to blame for our pain. He is the one who gives generously when we ask. He is the one to whom we reach out for help. He’s the giver of every good and perfect gift to whom we look for relief, not the one to whom we point our finger in our pain.
