The wrong accused / by kevin murray

Nobody likes to be accused of something in which it is claimed by someone in authority that they did it, when they know for a fact that they did not do it.  Yet, accusations fly against one another, all of the time, some justified, and some that are certainly not.  It is one thing though to be accused of something that we are knowingly guilty of, and it’s an entirely different feeling to be accused of something that we did not do, of which, many a person takes such an accusation as that as a personal insult and hence are none too happy to be counted among the presumed guilty, when they are not.

 

Yet, as many of us that despise being accused of something that we did not do, we ourselves often have a terrible habit of at least occasionally blaming a certain entity, for our own troubles, and that entity is God.  That is to say, when we are faced with an injustice, or are not able to get our way when we are desperate to have our way, or various other things that we find annoying or are bothering to us, there is a strong tendency for many a person to put the blame on God, as if it is God that can’t seem to be there when we really need God to be there for us.

 

Look, it has to be said, that God never makes any mistakes, nor could God ever be errant, for God is forever inerrant.  So then, those that insist that God is perhaps occasionally overwhelmed or forgetful or subject to misjudgment have definitely got it all wrong, for to accuse God as being responsible for our suffering and our troubles, is a true reflection that we have not the good character to face up to the music, that must so be faced.  In other words, all those that desire to place God on some sort of trial, are not only barking up the wrong tree, but they are definitely not thinking coherently. 

 

The life that we are experiencing has an awful lot to do with what we have or have not done correctly with the free will so gifted to us.  Those then that take such a wonderful gift and do those types of things that are inimical to good behavior are surely going to suffer for having made those wrong decisions, of which, it is in that suffering that provides us with the fair opportunity to re-evaluate and to re-examine our own life, so that we can therefore make better decisions, which are thus more attune then to what we are supposed to do with our free will.  In other words, each of us has been provided with talents, to do what we so desire to do with such, for better or for worse, and those that do a rather poor job, are prone to blaming others, such as God, for their unfortunate fate.  Indeed, there will be a trial, but that trial will not be us judging God, but God judging us, and those then that have spent an inordinate amount of time trying to squirm out of their responsibilities, will find that this trial is one that will bring about the type of clarification that will make it clear that God always gets it right.
