Of all that is evil ... past, present and to come: "For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness." (Psalm 84:10)
Genesis 4:7 -- "If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door and its desire is for you, but you should rule over it."
Cain was angry and upset that the Lord did not accept his offering like He did his brother Abel. So Cain killed his brother.
Second best to the Lord is not good enough. Giving only enough to get by is presenting a wrong heart attitude. When in reality you really don't care about God or what He has to say to you, sin has already taken root in your heart and you have caved in to its evilness.
Jesus is the door. He stands ready and waiting for you ... will you enter into His courts ... ?
It's the journey ... not the destination. ... The journey ... my eyes were opened and I knew Him and my heart was changed. ... Won't you join me in my travels, meandering here and there, journeying within my mind and beyond, on paths great and small, through this world that was created by and belongs to the Lord God Almighty.
