👫🏽❤️Hello, good morning.
Patriarchs and ProphetsJuly 1, 2021, Today's devotional
For the next 30 days, we will be studying various people in the Bible and what lessons their decisions teach us.
Cain and Abel
Genesis 4 recounts the story of Cain and Abel. Cain was Adam and Eve's, firstborn son. Abel was their second son. Both sons were raised knowing who Jehovah God is. They watched their father, Adam toil the hard ground that God had cursed because of Adam and Eve's disobedience. Genesis 3:17
They knew what was required of a proper sacrifice to God. So when it was time for both sons to give their first sacrifice, God rejected Cain's and received Abel's. For some, this has puzzled them why because after all Cain was giving from what he had. Genesis 4:3
The problem was he didn't give what was required.
Because God previously had cursed the ground and Cain was raised KNOWING what type of offering to give by watching his father, he chose to give what he wanted. Meaning to align himself with his own will. This equates to listening to Satan, the very thing his mother did when she chose to listen to Satan over what God told her to do.
📚Major Lesson alert: Learn to do what is asked/required of you, not what you want to do. When you lean to your own understanding and go with your own will, it will cause you much more strife than had you just gone with God.
💓I love you; Abba loves you; we love you!

"Father, if you are willing, please don't make me drink from this cup. But do what you want, not what I want."
