You would think of God as someone who treats everyone equally, right? Wrong. Matter of fact you shouldn’t be thinking about how God plays his favoritism game. He is God and it is His game. With this in mind, I have never stopped wondering why God plays unfair. At least in my human mind. And there is no better place to find God playing unfair than in Genesis 4. Two good guys Cain and Abel choose different jobs. Call them a lawyer and a doctor or something like that. Cain brings something from his profession and so does Abel. God looks at Cain’s gift and decides, “Well, I don’t think I care for that”. I am curious to know what you think about God’s game of favoritism.

These Two scriptures tell me that God doesn't play that favoritism game. He wants us to avoid it
Deut 10:17
For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes.
James 2:9
But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.
For the case of Cain and Abel, God considered their attitude –heart- towards him (expressed by their gifts) and rewarded them accordingly
