Mastering over sin

"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 master it." (Genesis 4:7)

When i read this verse it came to me like that i am reading it first time.
Most of us know about the history of Cain and Abel, Cain was the first child of Adam and Eve and Abel was the second child. Cain was working on the ground and Abel was taking care of the sheeps. Both works were important to each.

Then the time came for offering to the Lord, Cain gathered some of the things he had grown and offered to the Lord but Abel brought the fattest parts of some of the lambs from his flock. They were the male animals that were born first to their mothers.

They came to offer the Lord from what they have, but the Lord pleased only on Abel's offerings.

Cain just gathered something from his work and offered to the Lord but Abel gave the best to the Lord, and Lord pleased in his offering.

Seeing this Cain became sad and angry. Lord came to know that and he said to Cain:
"Then the Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why are you looking so sad? Do what is right. Then you will be accepted. If you don't do what is right, sin is waiting at your door to grab you. It longs to have you. But you must rule over it."

God spoke to him at the right time, God gave him the warning about sin, still he was not able to overcome it and he did the greatest sin by killing Abel.

Dear brother/sister our God "Abba Father" will give warning before we will be tempted for sin, He will tell us how to overcome sin, please dont avoid those warnings. God spoke to me personally while i was going through this passage and i want to share it with you.

To overcome sin there is a shortcut but it is very hard for some of us, "do what is right".

Sin will be waiting there to see when you don't do what is right, so do what is right in the eyes of of Lord.

What is right?<--
