Multitasking Mayham


I was talking on the phone with my wife and playing on the intranet at the same time. I had just got on the computer when she called so I tried to do both. I did not give all of my attention to my wife. It hit me that I was not giving all of myself to my wife but being selfish. I was taking care of my self and giving her my left overs. No one wants to be treated this way and yet we often do this to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He does not want us to live our lives doing what we want and giving Him our leftovers. Spending money how we want and giving Him our left overs. Worshiping every thing under the sun and giving Him our leftovers one hour a week. He wants our first fruits. He wants us to put Him first before every thing and He will take Care of the rest.

Genesis 4:1-6

Cain and Abel



1 Adam [a] lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. [b] She said, "With the help of the LORD I have brought forth [c] a man." 2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel.


Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. 3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD. 4 But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.


6 Then the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 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."




8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let's go out to the field." [d] And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

They both gave gifts to God but one gave with all of His heart. I did talk to my wife on the phone but I didn't really give her the time she desired.

It is not just about your offering. We are to worship God in every part of our life. We should give Him the best in every thing.
