“Adam and his wife had another son, whom they named him Seth (i.e., given) because, as they said, `God has given us a son to take the place of Abel, whom his brother Cain has killed.’
Then, when Seth had a son, he named him Enosh. And at that time people began to call on the Name of the LORD,” Genesis 4:25-26.
After the Fall of mankind in the Garden of Eden…
After disobedience, blame, and denial ruined a perfect world…
After the first jealous rage led to murder…
After one brother killed another…
After a new start and a new family began in the God-given son of Seth...
People began to call on the Name of the Lord.
Question: Do I sometimes take a while to call on God? Why?
Prayer: Dear LORD God, Who Gives and Restores, help me to call on You before I fall. If I forget, please remind me. Help me to stay attuned to You and readily hear and respond as You call my name.
