Sometimes these contradictions are obvious, like when I walked out on the porch and a snake was on my porch. That thing had crawled up on 
to the roof ledge of a second story porch! It was a very loud contradiction to my plans and future. (I knew it was a personal issue because I was the only one home.) One of the symbolic meanings of a snake is “a threat to the future,” and sure enough, one of us had to die that day! However, some personal contradictions are not as obvious, even on our porch, because they are always there and we don’t see them as a threat to our future purpose and fulfillment and destiny. Contradictions on your porch can be from old wounds and memories that haven’t faded and still cause fear or anger or discouragement. They linger like a cloud on your porch waiting to come and go with you. Contradictions to your purpose can come from family traits like anger or pride or being judgmental. You don’t notice them because they have always been there. The fact that you need to change your thinking in some part of your life is not an indictment against you! The simple truth is that without repentance, there is no change and without change there is no overcoming contradictions that keep affecting your life and your legacy.

As the people of God assemble today, may He use our instructors to clearly point out the path for us to walk on. May we hear and see all the truths, directions and wise instructions that bring us to the path of Light so that we may go victoriously throughout our lives displaying the worth and value of a life lived according to the unfailing Word of God. May unbelievers observe and inquire about the road that Jesus pioneered for us. 
Boy.” God wasn’t writing him off. He was warning Cain that he had a personal issue on his doorstep that would trip him up. It was a behavior pattern of messing up and then being offended about it. That thing would crouch on his porch and dictate his life if he didn’t master it. Cain had a call to repentance, a call to think differently and change so that he could overcome a contradiction before it overcame him, but he didn’t and it did. Cain’s thinking did not change and the contradicting behavior pattern of offense and anger drove him into a rage and he killed his brother.
