You Might Need a Change of Audience...

You might need a change of audience. Abel and Cain had two different audiences but Cain did not realise that there is only one audience that could give a lasting sense of approval. While Abel just heard and followed, respecting the eternal audience of Jehovah, Angels and Cherubim, Cain did not. Abel's next intruction may have been to develop a wheel or a hook, line and sinker to catch and roast some fish that taste great with HP(TM) sauce. Abel's approval resonated as all creation rejoiced with Abel being at home. Noah followed like Abel although the immediate audience thought he was crazy building such a big boat and they chided him. What if he followed them? Abraham followed his wife and God reminded him just to trust. Abraham may have wanted his wife's immediate approval. They had to wait and wait to receive the promise as given. Cain must have felt distant or estranged but God did try to bring it to his attention. God loved Cain like a son and tried to tell him to just use the directions on the Ikea furniture next time. You will feel better. Read Proverbs 3:5-6.
