Today: [Proverbs 19] The Error of Blaming God. In chapter 19 of Proverbs we are warned against blaming God for the consequences of our own poor choices. It is a western tradition centuries old to hold God accountable for all the ills of humanity. Men assume themselves to be erudite and philosophical to question why do little babies die if God is God and loves us as the scriptures declare? Solomon in this chapter exposes the unflattering core motivation of all such thinking and gives us a way out of the company of scorners against God.
