Grace for your spirit December 9, 2011

Grace for your spirit
Then the Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen?" Genesis 4:6

When Cain brought an unsatisfactory offering to the Lord, he became angry at the confrontation. Rather than becoming better, he became bitter. That bitterness led to the murder of his brother. Looking down and looking back in the face of sin is a sign of rebellion and shame. Upward and forward is the look of repentance and commitment. Our look tells much of the story. When our transgression is revealed by God's Word, do we look down in sadness and shame, or up with repentance? Our look can tell us alot about what our future will be. May our countenance not fall in shame. Let's look up and live.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
