Taking Responsibility

Genesis 16:5 NIV
Then Sarai said to Abram, “You are responsible for the wrong I am suffering. I put my servant in your arms, and now that she knows she is pregnant, she despises me. May the LORD judge between you and me.”

In studying this scripture, Sarai was the one in error because she took matters of God into her own hands. God did not tell Sarai to prepare Hagar for Abram; nor did God tell Sarai to give HER husband to another woman. However, the suffering that Sarai was experiencing was not the responsibility of Abram but one that she brought onto herself.

Having a lack of faith that God would do just what He said; thinking that she had to help God out because obviously He did not remember how old she was; and not knowing what she was truly capable of of giving birth is what brought suffering onto herself.

How many times have we gotten into Gods way? How many times have we done something, involved other people in our personal issues and when it blew up in our face we then began blaming others?

Sarai had to take the hard road to assuming responsibility. The angel of the Lord had to make sure that she knew her part in Gods plan. Her doubts and lack of taking responsibility was evident when the Angel of the Lord chastened her about her laughing. She even lied about laughing. Sarai had a difficult time taking responsibility.

Search yourself. Do you have a difficult time about taking responsibility for decisions you’ve made? It is indeed easier to blame someone else for your error. And, to get the responsibility off of yourself, it is easy to even spread a lie about the person.

It takes maturity to assume responsibility for your own actions and not involve anyone else. True enough, other people may have been present when you made the decision, however, you must take responsibility of your own actions.

Maturity is not determined by age but by taking responsibility for your own actions.

Start today…

Take responsibility.
