Seth—a new beginning from God

Seth—a new beginning from God

Excerpt
The only ray of hope in that dark day was God’s promise that a Redeemer would one day be born of the woman and conquer the serpent (John 3:15). But Abel was dead so he couldn’t beget a child; and Cain, the unbelieving murderer, had wandered off and built a city in the Land of Nod, east of Eden.Would God’s promise be fulfilled? How could it be fulfilled?
God is sovereign in all things and His plans aren’t frustrated by the foolish and sinful ways of mankind. Because He is the sovereign God, He “works all things according to the counsel of His will” (Eph. 1:11, NKJV). “But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases” (Ps. 115:3, NKJV). The Lord enabled Eve to conceive and bear a son whom she named Seth (“granted”) because God had appointed him to replace Abel. More

Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
