The First Vocational Pursuits (Genesis 4:1–2)

Genesis 4:1–2 tells us that the first human family engaged in the pursuits of farming and shepherding. In this devotion we explore what that would have all entailed, and seek to appreciate the blessings God continues to give us through all the various godly jobs that make the world go around.Music Credit: J.
