The Olympic Blames
Soul Snack 138/12 ... The Olympic Blames
The Olympics is now past - winners continue to celebrate and losers live with lament. For the losers the next Games have already begun - it is called The Blame Game. The blame game is ON.
Something has to change is the bleat of those dissatisfied with Australia's performance in the Olympics. Caustic comments such as the worst performance since Montreal circulate as team OZ descends from hero to zero especially in its strongest sports - the pool and the velodrome.
The OZ press censures this lack of performance in the favored sports:
- insufficient government spending the Australian Olympic committee blames,
- insufficient Olympic committee spending the government responds,
- insufficient grass-roots sports development,
- centralising of coaching elite athletes and of course,
- the loss of the best coaches to countries such as Great Britain and China.
Have you observed how blame is now daily in this world? We are all either finding fault or hearing fault constantly. Blame is simply accusation with its clothes on.
Satan is the author of this blame game for he is the father of accusation. Each second of each day he sweeps more blame through the media and we all unwittingly become deft at speaking accusation by exposing blame.
Satan brings accusations about the brothers of Christ day and night before the Father (see Rev 12:10) BUT Jesus presents them free from accusation to the Father.
now He (God the Father) has reconciled you by Christ's physical body... to present you without blemish and free from accusation (Col 1:22)
Satan is locking this world into devouring accusations and loading it with criticism too weighty to bear.
Look for this blame game, listen to how you speak and then refuse to be part of it.
Blame is the transmission of ill-will in the guise of another's improvement.
