Hebrews 4:12For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.

Watch Out! 1-28-09

Read Genesis 4 first

Genesis 4:7
7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it."

In Genesis 4, there were Cain and Abel, the two sons of Adam. One day Cain had brought fruits of the soil as offering to God while Abel brought fat portions of his firstborn of his flock. God had favored Abel and his offering. Of course, Cain was jealous. 6 Then the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it." God has told Cain to watch out and do what is right in God's eyes.

The question comes up. Why does God favored Abel's offering more than Cain's? The reason is because in everything the first born is always the strongest. See that Abel brought his FIRSTBORN of his flock while Cain brought only fruits of the soil. So what does this mean? It means that the significance of "first fruits" is the trust of God. Cain did not bring his first fruits which mean he does not trust God. After that Cain killed his brother and God gave Cain a chance to repent but he never did.

This is a illustration that I thought of. Pretend God is a barrier and we are inside it. As humans, we are very curious, so we put our heads out the barrier. When God knew about that, He pulls us right back. In this same way, it is like our life. We sometimes get curious with new things. We tried it and then God would try to pull us back because He knows what is good for us. How about if we resist God? Then we are doing something against God and we are not obeying Him. Then we go through the same consequence that Cain had: the "restless wanderer" or someone who never is satisfy with God and never trust God. God is giving us a chance when He pull us back but the question is WILL YOU REPENT?

WILL YOU REPENT?...or will you become a "restless wanderer"?
