The Land Of Wandering.

[Scott Hutchinson]

Then Cain went away from the presence of The Lord,and settled in the land of NOD,east of Eden.GEN.4:16 ESV
In Genesis chapter 4 we have the biblical account of how The Lord had put Cain away from His presence due to the fact of his killing his brother ABEL.
We see that Cain went away from the presence of The Lord,and settled in the land of Nod.

Now in Hebrew NOD, means wandering.You see when folks get away from God and His Spirit then they are wandering for something to satisfy their inner most being.

Only being in the manifest presence of God,and being touched by his Spirit can bring peace to our life.You see killing one's brother can drive the presence of God from our life.
We might not physically kill our brother or sister in Christ,but our tongues and harsh spirits we can destroy a fellow citizen of the Kingdom of God.

May we not be jealous of our brother or sister In Christ,and do as Cain and seek to harm our brother.
Because when we do things that drive the presence of God away from our lives,we will go to wandering trying to fill a void in our lives that only an encounter with a Holy God can fill.
May we live in the land of Shechem which means upper which can be a type of being seated in a Heavenly place rather than dwell in the land Of NOD,where our souls are left to wander.
