Why is your face downcast? 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.” That challenges me to question the little things that I do that aren't quite right or pure. Like what areas of my life am I not giving God my best cuts of meat from the best of my flock? Where am I serving Him half-heartedly and not giving my best? Does that lack of total obedience result in me being angry or depressed? Probably so. I need to think on this for a while. God asks us, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast?
