Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. But the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?”
Genesis 3:8-9 NIV
This may seem like a strange question for God to ask. Surely God knows where he can find Adam. What God is really asking is, “Where are you in relation to me?” It’s a question we should all ask of ourselves. Are we close to the Lord or is “life” getting between us. Is our busyness, worry, doubt, self-centeredness or sin keeping us from focusing on God and the relationship he wants to have with us?
