Genesis 3:12

"The man said, 'The woman you put here with me - she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.'" Genesis 3:12

Here it is, the thing everyone seems to do, the passing of the buck.  Not only is the man blaming the woman for giving him the fruit, but also he's blaming God for giving him the woman.  "Yes, God, I ate it, but it's your fault for giving me this temptress."  We are all tempted to do that very same thing, instead of accepting our guilt, we point the finger, "I only did it because of..." (insert excuse here).

What sins are we passing the blame on now?  Instead we should acknowledge our guilt and beg God for forgiveness and strength to resist the temptation.
