Genesis 4:6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? CAIN SOLD OUT TO JEALOUSY Cain was like many people today. He believed in God but he would not believe God. He brought an offering that he had grown from the very ground that God had placed a curse upon. He tried to offer an unworthy sacrifice to God. Cain could easily have traded grain and the fruit of the ground to Able for an animal to sacrifice if he had not been too proud. Just like a lot of people today he was willing to make an offering but not willing to make a sacrifice. Cain let his jealousy and hate for his brother turn to murder. I am amazed at the number of times I hear on the news of family members killing or harming their own families. Who can know what motivates this kind of jealousy and hatred? I can only suppose that these people are selling their own lives so cheaply that they have no respect for the value of other people's lives. Please feel free to contact me by email at shilohkosciusko@gmail.com with questions, comments or even suggestions for further devotional studies. If you know of someone new to the Kosciusko area and would like for our church to visit them please let us know. Our prayers are that this devotional ministry will be an outreach to bring people into a closer relationship with Jesus. I do appreciate you taking the time to read these devotionals and please keep us in your prayers.
