After Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating of
the Tree of Good and Evil, the Bible says they had
become naked and 'hid themselves.'
Then God asked Adam the question,
“Where art thou?”
...and here’s why.
Whenever God asks us a question
It’s Not Because He Doesn’t Know The Answer!
Instead, it is because He wants us to pensively reflect
on how far we’ve distanced ourselves from Him.
That is, He’s not asking US for an answer,
but asking US to answer that question to ourselves.
You see, whenever we stray from God, the Holy Spirit
speaks to us just as He did to Adam that we might
see how we’ve distanced ourselves from Him
and take stock of where we’ve moved and how and why
we’ve hidden ourselves from the truth.
Invariably this is moving from being in the light to hiding
in the darkness and trying to cover up our sin
— just as Adam and Eve did.
The Good News (Gospel) is that no matter how far
you’ve moved from God, He is always there to love and
forgive those who come to him with a broken and
contrite spirit. (Psalm 51:17)
Friend, there is ALWAYS reconciliation with the Father,
so if you are having an 'Adam Moment' right now about
a difficult question God is asking you,
how will you answer it?
