(CS4U) Accountability

 

Accountability   "Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, for each one should carry his own load." Galatians 6:4-5   We humans are masters at passing the buck. Why? Because passing the buck is easier than fixing, and criticizing others is so much easier than improving ourselves. So instead of solving our problems legitimately (by doing the work required to solve them), we are inclined to fret, to blame, and to criticize, while doing precious little else. When we do, our problem, quite predictably, remain unsolved. Whether you like it or not, you (and only you) are accountable for your actions. But because you are human, you'll be sorely tempted to pass the blame. Avoid that temptation at all costs. Problem-solving builds character. Every time you straighten your back and look squarely into the face of Old Man Trouble. You'll strengthen not only your backbone but also your spirit. So, instead of looking for someone to blame, look for something to fix, and then get busy fixing it. And as you consider your own situation, remember this: God has a way of helping those who help themselves, but He doesn't spend much time helping those who don't.   Prayer Dear Heavenly Father, Give me the courage and the wisdom to accept responsibility for my actions. Help me to honor you with my thoughts, prayers and behavior. Empower me to remain faithful, obedient and available to Your Holy Spirit. I pray this in Jesus' Name. Amen
