..."Sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it..."

I love you God. Thank you for everything, for your presence yesterday, for using me. What an awesome revelation, as Mother Theresa said, "I am a pen in the hands of a loving God." (yes, I remembered that from your post Ms. Jackson). I have found that I am a trumpet in the hands of a skilled and merciful God.  My voice, is not for my profit, for my praise, it's for your honor for your glory and to draw your children close. Thank you God that I can be a vessel of honor in your hands. I want to be your vessel, and only a vessel.

Today, in breaks between studying (please help me God, I don't have strength or the will today to do it; I feel overwhelmed) I decided to do this, and to listen to your word. I came across this:

"Then the LORD said to Cain, 'Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it'"

What an awesome passage. You just put it right there in a couple of sentence; kind'a just sum up the trouble of it all. We walk around so many times with our faces downcast for so many reasons, when the solution is really so simple. You put before us life and death, blessings or curse...it's our choice. And you warn us, that sin is crouching, waiting, just pacing back and forth to have us. What a nasty picture, like a wild animal, like a roaring lion seeking whom to devour. But we can rule over it. I can rule over it. Jesus, cause me to rule over it. Show me how to do it. Today Lord. I want to rule over it. And I will by your strength and power.
