Knock, Knock

"But for Cain and his offering He had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell. The LORD said to Cain. "Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it. Genesis 4:5-7

We all have bad days.

And I'm pretty sure we have all been jealous before.

The devil man likes to use jealously to pick on us.

He sees an opportunity, and he will plant those seeds in our heart.

And then he waits.

Sin is crouching at the door.

Its desire is for us.

But, through Jesus, we must overcome!

Everyday we have the opportunity to act like Cain, and stab our brothers/sisters, physically and spiritually, with a fork.

Sin waits at the door of our hearts. Knock, knock

He whispers words of revenge and self pity. Knock, knock.

Don't ignore it--it will be back to ruin your life.

Don't overreact to it--don't hurt anyone.

The temptation to sin stays at the door of our hearts, waiting. The devil man's desire is for your souls. Knock, knock.

He waits, so he can try to steal us.

Let's not give him the opportunity.

When those feelings start to bother us, let's give them to God. Hey God, can you deal with this salesman? He's not worth it.

Amen.
