Issues on the Doorstep

(KG) Cain didn’t recognize the threat on his porch until God told him, “Cain, Sin is crouching at your door.” God was not saying, “You have a ticket to hell on the porch, PorchStepsBoy.” 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.

Lines Falling in Pleasant Places

Fenceline
This is the day the Lord has made so…

I will rejoice because the Lord has caused the lines to
fall for me in pleasant places, I have a good heritage and
He is working by His Word and His Spirit to deliver me
from the limitations of any negative portions of my heritage.

“The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Yes, I have a good inheritance.” (Ps.16:6)

May You Live Longer

Happy old people2As you walk in the purposes of Almighty God may you live longer than you have been told you will live and may you rejoice in the good things that your long life shall bring.

14 “Because you love me, I will rescue you. I will protect you because you know my name.  15  When you call to me, I will answer you.  I will be with you when you are in trouble.  I will save you and honor you.  16  I will satisfy you with a long life.  I will show you how I will save you.” (Ps.91:14-16, GW)
