Should God be Blamed?

In the years that I have walked with the Lord there has been many a time where I or most anyone I know has blamed God for something that didn't go the way we had hoped.  But should we lay this blame on God's doorstep?  I believe that this is the wrong approach.  If one believes that God is good and that His intentions are for our best than when something doesn't go the way we would like it to leaves us with the following options, was it us, sin, or the devil who brought the wrong into our lives.

In most cases I believe that the reason things don't go the way we would like them to has to do with something we did or didn't do.  Whether we miss stepped on something or we were not obedient to what God told us to do or for some other reason we need to examine ourselves to determine what when wrong.  Asking God to show us where we failed is the best option for He will shows us when we ask in faith. 

Sin is the result of disobedience and this is an area that we may be aware of or we may need  God to come in and help us see what we need to change.  Repentance will get us back on track with what God intends.  Sometimes the devil will step into a situation and provide resistance that will hinder what God intends to do with us and for us.  In these cases once again as in all the other areas that I have mentioned we need to seek God out to see if what we are experiencing is from the enemy of our souls or not.  God will reveal these things to us if we will seek Him out.  Remember when it comes to whether or something turns out the way we had hoped that in most cases the problems originate with us or another fellow human failing to do as God requires.  If you want to see all that God intends than be willing to be obedient to what God has stated to you in His book and you will experience victory as never before.
