When we fail, God doesn’t abandon us—He covers, protects, and restores us.

In today’s 5-Minute Daily Devotional, we reflect on Genesis 3:21 and 4:15 (NLT):

“The Lord God made clothing from animal skins for Adam and his wife.”

“The Lord replied, ‘No, for I will give a sevenfold punishment to anyone who kills you.’ Then the Lord put a mark on Cain to warn anyone who might try to kill him.”

Even after Adam and Eve’s sin—and Cain’s grave mistake—God responded with both justice and mercy. He corrected, yet He also covered and protected. His heart toward us is the same: correction rooted in compassion and discipline wrapped in love.

If you’ve ever felt too far gone, remember this—God’s mercy runs deeper than your mistakes. He still wants to cover your shame, guard your life, and restore you to a place of wholeness.
