Blame has many roots. I want to focus on this one aspect since we covered procrastination recently. Blame is an excuse for not dealing with unresolved issues. Proverbs 4:23.

Blame is often a false belief based on not feeling good about ourselves. Therefore we look for some reason to blame so we don’t have to look inside. Our heart is our belief center. When we have a faulty belief it controls every aspect of our lives.

Truth. Ephesians 1:4 says that He chose us before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before Him. Why would we choose to blame ourselves or others when Jesus doesn’t? Blaming is judging.  As we judge we will be judged. Matthew 7:2.

We sabotage ourselves when we blame others as our ‘why’ we failed to finish something. It alleviates us from having to shoulder the responsibility. Procrastination is the refusal to investigate the emotional reason behind our inaction.
