Genesis 4 Thoughts.




Genesis 4:7 "...sin is lying in wait for you, ready to pounce; it’s out to get you, you’ve got to master it.”

Sin is lying in wait for you. It's out to get you.

The important thing to remember here is we were born into sin. God Almighty knows this. He knows it's sitting there waiting for us. It knows we are weak to it- bent towards it. It's unfortunate, but it's our human nature.

HOWEVER-

God is telling us here- it's waiting for that weak moment. Sin is waiting to pounce on us....

YOU'VE GOT TO MASTER IT.

To master something means to be dominant; to conquer; to overcome.

We have to be dominant over sin. We have to conquer sin. We have to overcome sin-

otherwise sin turns into more sin. 

Just like in Genesis 4 when Cain's jealousy and anger turned to murder.

Sin breeds more sin. 

We've got to master it!

  In Genesis chapter 15, God says, "Don't be afraid Abram, I am your shield." For someone that battles with mental health, panic attacks, and anxiety disorder- this scripture meant so much.  I know He is my shield, I know I shouldn't fear- it's hard to tell my brain this at times, but I am so thankful He is someone I can call on when I just feel broken.. someone I can call on and scream for when I'm sad and heartbroken.  In verse 6, it goes on to say that Abram believed God. We just have to take a step of faith and believe- He is our shield!

Genesis 14 Thoughts

  ' Genesis 14 states,   " Blessed be Abram by The High God, C reator of Heaven and Earth.  And blessed be The High God   who handed your enemies over to you." This was a powerful message. He hands our enemies over to us. Do you know what that means? When someone wants to harm us- HE STEPS IN. When someone means evil for us- HE STEPS IN. When someone is against us- HE STEPS IN.   He will step in and hand them over to us! Just stay on the right path- the peaceful path- the uplifting path.
