Christ vs. Cain

Read:  Psalm 73 / Proverbs 5 / Genesis 4 / Luke 7

 

Psalm 73:28 It is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.

Proverbs 5:21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

Genesis 4:6-26 And the LORD said unto Cain… If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door… And to Seth… also there was born a son… then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.

Luke 7:35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.

 

How strange it is for sheep to wander

From Christ their Shepherd and their Savior!

Yet all their ways the Lord will ponder

And draw them back into His favor. 

 

The way of Cain exemplified 

A heart that will not turn from sin. 

The Lord will judge the rebel’s pride,

But saves those who will let Him in.
