Bible Commentary

Genesis 4:26

The chapter ends with a note of hope: people began to seek God again. After the darkness of Cain's line, Seth's line turned back to God. Worship, prayer, and calling on God's name are the beginning of restoration.

Memory phrase: Always call on the name of the LORD.

Talk about it: What does it mean to 'call on God's name'? How do you talk to God?

Prayer: God, I call on Your name today. I want to know You and talk to You every day.
