The man is stunned.
He quickly answers, “I was just lying on the ground unable to move when
a man I had never met comes up to me and gives me back the use of my legs. He is the one who told me, ‘Pick up your mat
and move along.’ So I did.” John 5:11

Go ahead…blame God. He gets blamed for most every tragedy and
injustice in this world, I am pretty sure He is willing to take the blame for
any good that happens to you. This isn’t
the case for the most part—we seem to reserve any blame assigned to God to the bad
things that come across our path. The
good that is sent our way we often credit to good fortune or good luck. How sad!
So go ahead, if something happens in
your life that is just plain amazing or totally fascinating or incredibly enriching
or simply heart-warming, blame God! He’s
the one behind all the good that comes into your life. He is the one who rescued you from certain
and final death. He is the one who
blesses you with health. He is the one
who sprinkles your days with sunlight, hugs from a friend, kisses from a child,
and gentle autumn breezes. When someone
tries to throw a wet blanket on any miracle or blessing God has bestowed on
you—as large or small as it may be, don’t just stand there. Speak up!
Tell the accuser, “It’s all God’s fault.
He’s the one responsible for giving me everything that is good in my
life!” He has no answer for a heart full
of joy. Be a witness!
