MEMORISE: And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. – Genesis 4:25
READ: Job 42:10
- And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
MESSAGE:
After Abel’s death, Eve experienced God’s grace and intervention with the birth of Seth, whom she saw as a replacement for her dead son. Eve acknowledged God’s hand in giving her Seth. Her experience points to the fact that God can bring restoration to His children even amid sorrow and loss.
Have you lost your parents or possessions and blamed yourself or God?
My dear child, God is unquestionable. Even though He does not do evil, He sometimes allows some things to happen to check a fellow’s heart. Learn from Job’s experience; despite his losses and affliction, he never blamed God because he knew that God does not do evil.
Beloved, God has great plans for your life regardless of whatever you have experienced in the past or are currently experiencing. No matter what you have lost in life, be encouraged that restoration is coming. However, you must trust God completely.
