“Don’t Blame Others”
Beloved, we live in a world quick to point fingers when life doesn’t turn out the way we hoped. But the truth is this: don’t blame others for the road you’re on—it’s your own asphalt. The path beneath your feet is often paved by your own choices, decisions, and priorities. Every action is like laying down a layer of pavement. Some choices create smooth roads of peace, while others create bumpy stretches of regret.
Yet here’s the hope—God is a Redeemer of roads. Even if your past decisions have led you down a rough path, He can repave, redirect, and restore your way. When we take responsibility instead of shifting blame, we position ourselves for God’s grace to work in us.
Proverbs 14:12 reminds us: “There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.” The Old Testament teaches us that our choices matter deeply. And in the New Testament, Galatians 6:5 tells us: “For each one should carry their own load.” Scripture makes it clear—we are accountable for the roads we walk, but we are never without God’s guidance.
So Beloved, don’t waste energy blaming others. Instead, surrender your road to God. Hand Him the broken pavement of poor choices, and trust Him to lay down fresh asphalt for a future filled with purpose. Your past decisions don’t have to define your final destination.
Pray with me:
Father God, I surrender the road I’m on into Your hands. Forgive me for the times I’ve blamed others instead of taking responsibility. Thank You that even when my decisions have led me astray, You are faithful to redirect my steps. Lord, pave my path with Your wisdom, guide me with Your Spirit, and lead me into the future You’ve designed for me. In Jesus’ name I pray, believe, receive, and praise. Amen.
