We are broken. Some of us know it, and some of us don't. Either way, only God can put the pieces back together. Fortunately for us, God loves us too much to leave us alone. His grace is relentless. He finds us in our brokenness and rebuilds us.

Are you in control of your life or is God? Are you willing to let God take over? In Genesis 28-31 God begins the process of breaking Jacob's fear and pride through a terrifying encounter and through facing the pain caused by his own sin.

God is holy, righteous, just, merciful, patient and gracious. He is also unchanging. Will you choose to be guided by His unchangeable character and immutable truth, and in the process find fulfillment in life? Or will you destroy yourself by choosing your own path apart from Him?

Ultimately, meaning and purpose for our lives can only be found through the One who created us and called us into relationship with Himself. Relationship with God transforms our identities from self-seekers to "sent ones" – those who have been sent by God into a broken world to bear witness to His saving grace.

Doing the right thing for the wrong reason is still wrong. Whether it's building cities and towers, like at Babel, or getting a degree, closing a sale, or saving for retirement, all of these good things become idols when we look to them for our significance and security. Praise God, we do not need to earn significance or build security, for they are an absolutely free gift for all who turn to Christ in faith.

Murder, adultery, theft, drug abuse... we'd like to believe that we are above such evil. Yet Cain's story demonstrates that there is no limit to the evil we can commit if we do not halt the invasion of sin in our lives. From his failure we learn how to stop sin before it grows out of control. Victory is possible, not because we are any better than Cain, but because God's grace is more powerful than all our sin.
