Uncharted: Ruach, Spirit of Godنموونە

You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master. — Genesis 4:7 (NLT)

God warned Cain not out of condemnation, but out of love. He saw the storm brewing in Cain’s heart and offered a way out. That same warning is for us, too. Sin often starts subtly - in jealousy, comparison, frustration, but it grows quickly if we ignore it. Like a wild animal waiting at the door, it wants to take control. But through God’s strength, we’re not powerless: we can master it.

Pause today and ask God to reveal any sin quietly crouching in your heart: bitterness, pride, anger, or fear. Then take one bold step to confess it, surrender it, and walk in freedom.

Prayer:

God, thank You for loving me enough to warn me. Help me to see the areas where sin is trying to take hold, and give me the courage to resist it. Strengthen me to walk in truth and victory today. Amen.
