Thought for Today: Monday April 17:

If someone deliberately commits a crime and is caught, who is to blame if that person is found guilty and sentenced to jail? Is the judge to blame – or is the criminal? The law-breaker is to blame for what has happened to him/her, not the judge. Yes, the judge did sentence the criminal, but they alone broke the law, and they are to blame for the penalty received. The judge was only following the law. Likewise, when we break YHVH Elohiym’s Law, we stand condemned and ourselves are to blame for what happens to us, not YHVH.
