Genesis 4:​ 6-7
 

Ben Fogle is a popular British personality

 who had something of a breakdown a few 

years ago.

 “I was being overstimulated,” he said. “I was doing too much,

 I was expecting too much of myself and I eventually popped, 

burst.”​ The problem, he said, was that he “didn’t listen to 

some​ of the little warning signs.”

Neither did Cain. He should have learned from his parents

 that sin doesn’t pay. He should have followed the example 

of his​ brother Abel. He should have heeded the warning 

God gave him in Genesis 4:6-7. 

But he didn’t listen, and he is remembered today

 as a tragic figure, the first murderer in history, 

the man​ who shed his own brother’s blood.

Let’s have ears to hear. God has a lot to say to us—

31,102 verses in the Bible. Let’s be still and have a 

quiet​ time every day, listening to His voice and 

heeding His directions.

​"God’s warnings are sent in love. They are

 fog bells to warn us of the rock that could 

wreck our souls.​"
