“But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.” – James 1:14
Isn’t it absurd to attempt to dump our shortfalls on God?
And this, by holding Him responsible for any temptation we encounter.
Was it not ‘blockbuster’ enough for the man to blame it on the woman, and the woman on the serpent?
Would you further aggravate the matter by dragging the Almighty into this?
Don’t complicate matters like Job by darkening counsel with words without knowledge (Job 38:2).
Your personal desires as an individual have shaped you.
Your follow-up actions have hemmed you into slavery to sin.
Remember, God made all things perfect, including humans.
But in our all-too-wise ways, we have gone in search of many schemes (Eccl.7:29).
Herein lies the root of our entanglements, not God.
Our unbridled desires are our snare unto temptation.
By insatiable curiosity, multitudes continue to be drawn away and enticed to their fall.
Ponder your desires and ways and make them right before the Almighty.
This you must do while His breath of life is still in you.
Gain wisdom in this and be guided henceforth.
Stay blessed.
