Because Of His Mercies. Part [15] 05/05/2022 (Evening thought)

Genesis 4:14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hidden; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that finds me shall slay me.

On the 15th of September, Laundrie was officially named a person of interest in the case of Gabby Petito, who was still missing at the time. The search for Laundrie continued for over a month. Teton County Coroner Dr Brent Blue confirmed Gabby died by strangulation. And on September 27, Dog the Bounty Hunter announced he will lend a hand and help search for Laundrie.  

God did not punish Cain, neither did He drive him out of his presence, neither did God make him into a fugitive and a vagabond. All that God did was to allow the laws of cause and effect run their natural course. And, unless we come to grips with this view of God, we will continue to draw wrong conclusions about His character, and His dealings with us.

 The perspective of the mercy seat being above the law was extended to Adam after He had sinned, for when the scriptures are read carefully, we discover that God never cursed Adam. God simply stated the facts in the case, because the curse is located in the sinful act in most cases, not something that God will do to persons.

Genesis 3: 17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless
