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.”
Genesis 4:7
As my children were growing up and especially when they hit the teenage years I would simply tell them to "Do right" when they left the house.
By this time in life I prayed I had given them enough guidance.
There was no list of rules that I could give them
because human nature would lead them to find one I hadn't mentioned.
This verse captures that concept beautifully.
As we go into this new year I challenge us to "Do right"
The enemy desires to have you.
BUT you must RULE over it.
Remember "Doing Right" is not a list of rules you impress on others
BUT what you know in your heart to be true.
