Responsibility

What would happen when you were blamed for something as a child? Would you make an excuse of how it wasn't your fault, or did you own up to it and accept the blame? There are times in life that we are challenged for our morales and ethics that no one will ever know so what do we do? It is not just about no one ever knowing. It is all about who we are when no one is looking. What happens when speed everywhere we go, but it is not fast enough to be pulled over for and it is above the posted limit. Obviously it is called speeding. Do you feel you were doing something illegal if you don't get caught? What if you do, do you make excuses, or worse lie about it that you didn't know, in hopes they are lenient and get away with it? Do you do things just to see if you get caught? Is that your excitement? Now I want you to realize that everything you are, have, and do is not yours. Let that sink in. I just said that your house, job, car, spouse, family, income, retirement, furniture, body, talents, everything.......is not yours. There is a famous talk show host that states the talent is on loan from God. This means we are merely stewards of it all. Are being a good steward when you are not being responsible for your actions? Are you being a good steward when your lifestyle leads someone astray from Gods word? Let's get personal, are you a good steward when you give just 10% of your income back to God, or when you don't treat your spouse with care and respect, or the BIG ONE, we don't maintain a healthy body? Where is the responsibility when we as a servant of God, not do what the Master would like us to do? Whos fault is it when our own bad habits cause undue harm to another? Who takes the responsibility for our obese body and unhealthy lifestyle? What about our witness from our lifestyle? Where is your blame game taking you?
