Re:Verse reading–Genesis 4:1-16; 25-26 (day four)
Verse 26 – “Then men began to call upon the name of the Lord.”
Fellowship with God had been broken. First, Adam and Eve had sinned and been removed from the garden. Cain had killed Abel and had removed himself from the presence of the Lord. Now, God had given a new child, Seth, and Seth had a child Enosh. Their response to God’s provision was worship. This phrase in verse 26 is used throughout the Old Testament to describe worship to God. In Genesis, Kings, Psalms and the minor prophets, men began to call upon the name of the Lord, after a period of separation.
Have you been separated from God? Maybe you have still been going through the motions, but feel far away from fellowship with Him. You feel like you have been hidden from His face. Return to Him…God is ready to restore your broken relationship. Repent and ‘begin to call upon the name of the Lord.’
