There is a great temptation to blame another for our reactions. It would have been wonderful to blame my husband for my anger. It would have been so much easier! We all like to shift the blame because we don't have to take responsibility then, for our own mistakes and weaknesses. Shifting the blame started, of course, with Adam and Eve. Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the devil. "The devil made me do it," some say. Yet the truth is we have authority over the enemy. He can't make us do anything as Christians, unless we give him consent. We don't have to agree with any of his lies. Remember, we are in a wrestling match. Let's apply pressure to him! Let's apply the pressure of the Holy Spirit against the devil's pressure.
