Fog Bells
The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door.” Genesis 4:6-7
Ben Fogle is a popular British personality who had something of a breakdown two 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.”1

Genesis 4:1-15
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.
