These were the words God spoke to Cain to warn him just before he yielded to sin and killed his brother, Abel. God described how sin’s intention was to have and control him, but that he must not yield.

John clarified that the lust (craving) of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life are all trying to control us and bring us down. [1 Jn. 2:16]

Unforgiven sin will always lead to death. Obedience to Christ will always lead to LIFE.

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, fill me and lead me by Your Spirit today. Grace me to resist sin and to walk this life with You.

DAILY READING: Gen. 3-5
