Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of 1 John 3:12 which says "12 Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s were righteous."

"Everyday we battle the Cain from within. No we aren’t going to kill our brother, but we do have an Able inside. The Able is righteous part of you. Its actions, and its way of living is in right standing with God, but we have a Cain that works really hard to kill the Able.

 

It’s so much easier to do so. It’s easier to give into sin than to live in righteousness. It’s easier to give into society, it’s easier to give into our rage and jealously. It’s easier to be this person, but this verse is instruction us, do not be like Cain!

 

Don’t kill the light from within. Don’t dim your communication with God. Don’t dismiss when he speaks or pushes you to do something. Don’t undermine the true power of living a righteous life. You’ll end up hurt and alone engulfed in fear. "

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Genesis 4:12 which says "When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.” 

"More-so, I have had a rough weekend with the business. I am going on day 15 of working on my feet and I am having growing pains adjusting to my new schedule. You can probably hear it in my voice but I am tired and I’ve spent the last few hours crying.

 

The thought of quitting has passed my mind a few times, but God works perfectly and this story aligns exactly with the emotions I am feeling. I have to remember to control these emotions, not to give into impulse but instead trust Him through the process.

 

In the same way we can all apply this for the day ahead of us. Let us not act on impulse, let us rationally deal with our emotions and surrender what we don’t have control over. "

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Genesis 4:9 which says " Then the LORD said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I don’t know,” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?” 

"This is a reminder that one mad decision, leads to other bad decisions quickly. When God approached him he has the chance to confess and plead and ask for forgiveness, instead he gave him sass, as if God didn’t already know what had happened.

 

Many times we can behave like that. We give God sass. Sass that he does not deserve, sass that is really a waste of breath because we know that God already knows what we did.

 

We have to remember to confess our sins, we have to let them go, we have to surrender them to Him. He is the only one that can help us in troubling times. "

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Genesis 4:7 which says "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.” 

"Continuing our study on persons of the bible and today we are reading over the story of Cain and Abel. 

... 

He is giving Caine to outcomes, you either do what is right, or you don’t. When you don’t do that is right, the outcome is sin. God is clear, you must rule over it.

 

We have the ability to stay strong in our faith. We have the ability to turn away from our sinful nature. We can learn to surrender our anger, jealously, and other ugly emotions. We must not hold them in, it will only continue to grow until it becomes all consuming.

 

May we hold onto God’s words, If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? The solution to ruling over our sin is very simple, lean on what is right. "

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Genesis 3:22-23. 

"Continuing our study on Adam & Eve. - The third thing that really stood out to me was the line that says “He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever”

 

We learned earlier in this book that there were two trees. The tree of life, and the tree of knowledge. They were allowed to eat from the tree of life, but they were not allowed to eat from the second tree. In this line we see that God is so angry He has taken away the tree of life from Adam and Eve’s reach.

 

We know that Jesus came to pay the ultimate price. He is the tree of life that we get to drink from. He is the water that will never allow us to be thirsty. He is the reason we get to live forever.

 

Adam may have messed things up for us, but Jesus came to rectify it. We are a lot like Adam, but we have a mighty savior who wants to save us. It’s our choice if we want to drink from His well. "

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Genesis 3:1-6. 

"Continuing our study on Adam & Eve. This story always amazes me. It speaks to our true nature of curiosity, and how we use our free will. In the devotional series that I wrote, I said that our free-will was one of the most beautiful gifts we have been given.

 

It’s what allows us choose to live a life with God in the center. We aren’t forced to do so.

 

When God gives us instructions and when He prevents us from walking through certain doors, or when He doesn’t give us what were hoping for and expecting, we are quick to think He is a father that withholds from us.

 

What we need to understand is that He isn’t a father that withholds a blessing, He is a father that withholds a heart break. When He prevents us from doing certain things, He doesn’t want to hurt us, He wants to protect us.

 

A lot of the times we are like Eve. We rationalize God’s instruction. We give into society and what it has to say about certain topics, and we weigh it against what was said. We twist His words, and then we are surprised that we get hurt.

 

Our takeaway today should be very simple, may we listen carefully, may we run into Him freely, may we surrender our ideas of what is write and wrong, and may we just be obedient. One day at a time. "

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Genesis 2:19-25. 

"We are starting with of course, Adam & Eve. I think there is a lot for us to learn about them over the next few days.

 

The  was something that really stood out to me while I was reading this chapter. Notice how it was made very clear how the Lord form out of the ground all the animals and birds in the sky.

 

I don’t think that detail was a mistake. I don’t think any detail in this beautiful Bible is a mistake.

 

A few verses later, we see that Eve was form from Adam. A few verses earlier we read that Adam was made by God from breathing life into him. There is something extra special about us to God. He created us, on purpose for a purpose.

 

I hope we spend our days honoring the life inside our bones. "

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Psalm 139:13 which says "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb."

"The idea that God knows our very essence is one of the most beautiful parts of our relationship with Him. When we look around, we see that we are all different. We don’t look the same, talk the same, share the same thoughts. We each have our own dreams, and experiences. We have different perceptions. Different physical traits. Different beings. Yet He took the time to carve us, in all of our details.

 

I pray that we never take that for granted. I pray that we look at what makes us different and we rejoice in it."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Psalm 86:15 which says "But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness."

"A year ago I would have never believed it would be possible, but I am walking out this dream. Even on this mountain top, I have had dips, and twists and turns I didn’t see coming, but this is the verse I chose to hold onto.

 

He is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

 

My paster preached this weekend a message about When God Gets Mad. He said God is an an emotional being, but He is never changing. He was the same yesterday is the same today and will be the same tomorrow. I am not sure if you are in a season where you feel God’s mercy, or God’s discipline but they both make us stronger.

 

Abounding means very plentiful, abundant. He is faithful. Not just faithful sometimes, but abundantly faithful. He will get you through where ever He has you. He will get you on the mountain top, He will walk with you in the valley’s. He disciplines us, He showers us in grace. He is a good good father and we are lucky to have Him in our life. "

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Romans 13:10 which says "Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law"

"Loving a neighbor means wishing that person the best. The best thing this life can offer is a relationship with Jesus.

 

So as well prepare for the day head of us, let us pray our neighbors get a life changing experience with our Lord. It is the best gift anyone can receive. Even for those that make you want to scream.

 

Maybe you don’t have anyone you are mad at. Maybe you aren’t experiencing betrayal. But maybe you’re holding onto offense and you’ve been a little blind to see it.

 

Our prayer today should be for God to life the glasses. May we rid of anything that poisons us. May we forgive, May we love. "
