“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?’” Gen 3:8-9 (NIV)
God cares about you personally and He cares about where you are spiritually. Your condition matters to Him. Throughout the Bible, the thread of God’s redeeming love can be traced. His love for you has no limits. God created you so that you can know Him personally and make His love known globally.
Adam and Eve rebelled against God and received immediate consequences. Their eyes were opened to recognize their nakedness and their fellowship with God was inhibited. Their sin hindered their unbroken communion with God. The poison of sin had tainted their spiritual condition.
Our God is compassionate. The depth of His love is evidenced as He pursues Adam with a personal question, “Where are you?” Of course, God knew where Adam was both physically and spiritually. His question was not to aid in locating Adam’s whereabouts in the garden. God asked the probing question to get Adam to assess his personal spiritual condition. God’s question was a question of compassion.
God could have left Adam and Eve to their own demise. God could have given them an extended silent treatment. Yet, God made the first move toward reconciliation. God went first to restore the fractured relationship.
Where are you? How is your love relationship with the Lord? Have you drifted in your daily devotion and intimacy with Jesus? Assess your current spiritual condition. Repent of anything that has hindered your fellowship with the Lord and return to your first love. Enjoy unbroken fellowship with the One who died to give you life eternal and complete.
Pursuing God,

Mr.Trammell,
My parents attend your church and occasionally my mom would send me a devotional. I enjoy them so much that I subscribed to your service. I wanted you to know that a couple of weeks ago, you did a devotional about living is to be focused on eternity because our life here is not permanent. There were several unexpected deaths in our community during the time your devotional was published and I was able to share it with several people who were impacted by the ones who passed away. It ALWAYS amazes me how God uses people to minister to each other and how even though you are 4 hours away, your publishing of that particular devotional was perfect timing. Thank you for listening to the prompting of the holy spirit. God is using your devotionals more than you may ever know! Merry Christmas!!!
