Restless Wanderer
God told Cain since he killed Abel, ‘you will be a restless wanderer’. (Genesis 4)
Cain’s reply, ‘My punishment is more than I can bear…I will be hidden from your presence.’.
When he found out he would be hidden from God’s presence it was more than he could bear.
This passage depicts a glimpse of Hell for me. Forever away from the presence of God. Forever. Torment. Restlessly wandering. Here is the key. Zero hope. None. No chance of ever being rescued.
In every rescue story I have ever heard or read, the “thing” that kept the wanderer going was, hope.
At this moment, there is hope. God is still in the search and rescue business and you have the opportunity to be rescued. Stop hiding. There is hope, and he is The Way to God.
Love,
Duane
