Reflection
Cain & Abel are farmers and God accepted Abel’s sacrifice and not
Cain’s due to lack of faith or the darkness. Cain kills Abel, denies it
to God and is cursed by God for this act. Cain went away from God
and lived elsewhere.

Meditation:
What you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well
sin is lurking at the door; it's desire is for you, but will you master it.

Prayer:
O God, I acknowledge my helplessness. Sin often attempts to beat
down the door in my life. Help me not give sin the deciding vote in the
Choices I make and the actions I take. Thank you that I can live in the
forgiveness of my sin in Jesus Christ. Amen
