Hiding from sin? Hiding from ourselves? Turn to God!!

 Good morning all!  God is good all the time, all the time God is good!  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!

  Genesis  3: 8-9 "And they heard the sound of the LORD GOD walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD GOD among the trees of the garden.  But the LORD GOD called to the man and said to him, "Where are you?""
  This is all very interesting since God is omniscience and does not need to inquire where they are, yet HE does.  Why?  Because GOD is a loving and kind GOD and is not going to just accuse and be ugly to us.  GOD seeks to have all of us come to know HIM.
  God asked Adam where are you?  Just as He asks us where are we?  Not because He does not know, but because we need to know several things.  First, God is seeking us, but second we need to ask ourselves "Where am I?"  Oh, not where we are physically, but, WHERE AM I SPIRITUALLY?
  So often we hide, yes we hide from God;; from being uncomfortable in God's presence; but we hide.  We may hide in various ways, but yet we hide.  We are afraid to admit the truth - I have sinned and don't want to face the consequences!
  We don't need to hide.  Humans tend to hide to conceal their sin.  A criminal commits a crime and goes into hiding.  We as Christians commit a sin and don't want to admit or be confronted, so we hide.  What are you hiding from today?
   God has the best strategy. We have to wait on the LORD and HE will resolve the issue in HIS time and HIS way.  As I go through my study, different topics pop up and thank you for staying with me. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
