“And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, ‘where art thou?’” (Genesis 3:8-9)
God, who is omniscient, or all knowing, did not need a GPS to know where Adam was hiding in the garden or to know where you and I are. In this second question in the Bible God was asking the question for Adam’s benefit. It’s much like the question you put to a four year old when they are finger painting a picture on a wall in your house: “What are you doing?” You know full well what they are doing, but the question jolts them back into reality.
Where are you today in your relationship and your fellowship with the Lord? He knows where you are, but do you know where you are? You may be lost, a sinner needing the Savior. Or you may be a Christian following God at a guilty distance. Or, you may be a child of God facing a major health problem, financial dilemma or other serious difficulty. Call out to Him. Acknowledge where you are. Let Him save you. Let Him set your feet on the solid Rock and the right path. He is the Deliverer.
