Genesis 4-7, Spiral. Living apart from God cannot help but result in a downward spiral. While Adam and Eve were cast out of the garden, God had not totally left them and their family as evidenced by the sacrifices Cain and Abel offered. God even corrected and warned Cain before he killed his brother. The following chapters which cover some 1600+ years show this downward spiral until God intervenes with the flood.
Thank you, Lord, for rescuing Noah and his family. You foreshadowed your ultimate rescue of humanity through your Son, Jesus. Help us to live worthy of the great gift of life that you have given us. Guide us in our role of your ongoing rescue through the advance of the Gospel. We love you, Lord! Amen.
