Genesis 4:7

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.

1 Peter 5:8

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

The devil (satan) is the father of sin.  So he is behind this “crouching” that happens at our doors.

Each day we face temptations.  We have the choice to over-eat, to over-talk, to do many things that could have negative consequences.  There are numerous ways that we can allow SIN to enter our thoughts and lives.

1 Corinthians 10:13

No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

Though sin crouches, God ALWAYS provides a way of escape for us.  Hallelujah!

I pray each of us will make wise choices today and be aware that SIN is CROUCHING at our doors.  

Be equipped with the Word of God in your heart today.
