Who's responsible? Not ME!! Galatians 6:4,5,

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
  Yesterday I talked about the sun appears brighter after a storm than after a cloudless day.  How true this is, and we need to remember we are all responsible for our actions.

    Galatians 6:4,5  New King James Version (NKJV) ⁴ But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. ⁵ For each one shall bear his own load. 

   Look at verse 4 - when you do your very best, you feel good about the results.  There is no need to compare yourself with others.  How often do we do this?  Sometimes it is called: "keeping up with the Jones."

   We all make comparisons for various reasons; it may be to point out flaws in others so we feel good about ourselves, or, it may just be reassurance we are doing well so we can feel better about ourselves.

   Don't compare, just do the job, whatever it be, as if you are doing it for Jesus Christ.  Let Jesus be your example and strive to walk in His footsteps.

    Verse 5 tells us we are all responsible for our own conduct.  If I am fat- it is probably because I eat too much; if I am an alcoholic it is because I drink too much; if I am a drug addict it is because I do drugs too much, and on and on.

    Our society wants to tell us our problems are because of someone else.  Too fat - McDonald's fault. Alcoholic - the liquor and beer stores fault.  Huh?  It is time to step up and be responsible for what you do and to follow God's teachings.  Ponder on this a moment and if you wish to read more on this thought go to Christianity - Thoughts by Johnny.

   Step up, take responsibility.  It is your fault--be it good or bad.  Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
