Successors

From the story of Cain and his descendents, one after another is full of sin and perverse that our current civilization mirrors. The violence and sexual media and lifestyle that we have today. With much wickedness and arrogance, we even boast about such things.

But for those who follows the way of Abel and seek God in all his ways, will always find mercy and life. In opinion, Abel tended flocks and gave the first borns to God as an offering because he probably knew God also killed the animals as an atonement for Adam and Eve's sin. I believed Adam followed what God did, and love God. Hence gaining favor from God.

Yet however, he was killed and murdered by his very own brother who he grew up with. How amazing one can kill another who they live together with in the their lives. This comes as a warning that such hatred and murderous intend can be anywhere, any time and anyone.

However the good news is that, Seth came in replacement with Abel which is Adam-like. Probably a man closest to God, from him came Enosh which means weakness. Where we come before GOD in our weaknesses and utter worship. The pioneer worshipers of God came from Enosh and thats what we need in the current day. Not a succession of economy, politics, power or wealth, but a succession of Godly people, Godly Worshipers.

Prayer:
Lord, i pray that my life and my weaknesses may find favor in your eyes, that your strength be made perfect in me. That i will live my life as a worshiper to you, a Godly man after your heart. I want to find favor in your eyes and acceptance in my righteous offerings to you. Humble my heart in the area of my sin, and let confess my sins to you all the days of life, that i maybe continually purify by you.

In Jesus Holy and merciful name,
Amen.
