“Likewise ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.” 1 Peter 5:5 KJV The believer is called to function from the place of submission.

“But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.” Genesis 4:5 KJV Many have died, many marriages have been destroyed; businesses, relationships and capitals have been lost because of the inability to handle emotions. Probably if Cain had first talked it over with God, he could have put the little pieces together. He would have...

“And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.” Genesis 4:8.
