July 16th, 2012 Gen 4-7


S. Gen 4:3 “Cain brought to the Lord a gift of his farm produce, while Abel brought several choice lambs from the best of his flock.”
O. Abel brought the very best that he had, while Cain only brought his seconds. It wasn’t a sacrifice to Cain.
A. I want to give God my very best, not my seconds and thirds, not my leftovers. I want him to have the very best of me. Everything I have, everything I am I want the Lord to have. I want to give every part of me away for God to take, not just bits and pieces of specific percentages of my heart, but absolutely everything in me.
P. God, help me to make a Daily decision to give you everything that I am, every attitude, every word, every thought process. Everything. I give it all to you.

S. Gen 6:8 “But Noah found favor with the Lord.”
O. Even with all the wickedness going on around him, Noah still maintained a close relationship with God. “He consistently followed God’s will and enjoyed a close relationship with him.”
A. I want to consistently be in God’s will and have a close relationship with him. Close enough that I know that no matter what is going on around me, I will still be in God’s will for my own life.
P. I want to know you God. I want to know who you are, I want to be in your word, breathing it in, speaking it out in encouragement. I want who you are to ooze out of who I am. Help me to become close to you, help me to have an ongoing relationship with you.
