Good Morning Sunshine! Where Are You?

Genesis 3:9~ “Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, ‘Where are you?”

We have all asked or been asked this question, where are you? If you are lost and calling for directions, the first thing they will ask you, is where are you, what do you see? Or if you are looking for someone, you will pull out your phone and ask the question, where are you? And you will be expecting an answer!

Religion versus Relationship! Today God is saying where are you? Are you operating from a religious perspective, or do you really have a relationship with God? And before you answer, let me tell you that God already knows where you are, so be truthful! Sometimes a question is just a question and sometimes a question isn’t just a question, because the answer is already known!

When God asks you a question, it’s more than just a question! Do you really believe that God would ask you a question and He doesn’t already know the answer to it, after all He is the God who knows everything! Think about it, He called out to Adam, “Where are you?” As if He didn’t know, just like when He calls you, it’s not that He doesn’t know where you are both physically and spiritually, but He wants to know do you know where you are! God is present everywhere and He knew exactly where Adam was, and He knows exactly where you are at today. He knows if you are just religious, pretending to be in a relationship with Him versus you actually having a relationship with Him!

Where are you? It’s a call to repentance! Will you answer Him? Are you inside with Jesus or outside? Are you trusting in the things which are seen, things that are temporary?  Or are you putting your trust in the things that are unseen, things that are eternal?  Or have other people or things (your spouse kids, job, house, title) taken the place in your heart and in your life, that was for God? Now how are you answering God when He calls out to you? Will you come right out and answer truthfully that you are a sinner in need of a Savior, or will you refuse to look in the mirror and continue to hide from God and deny your sins?

Where are you? There is nowhere that you can go or hide to get away from God, so, stop lying and making excuses, it won’t work, and stop blaming others for your disobedience! Answer God, I heard this in prayer on Monday, “just turn around and face it, you will see differently this time, because you are not looking through your lens, but you are seeing it from God’s point of view!”

So, when God comes to you and He ask you, “Where are you?” You don’t have to hide or cover up your sins anymore! No more playing the blame me game! You will be made free today!  God called you to confess and repent that you can be comforted and redeemed and live in God’s Mercy, Grace and forgiveness, knowing that all of your sins have been washed away and there is nothing you could have done to deserve this or earn it, it’s from God alone, all you had to do is confess and repent, God will do the rest!

Where are you? Again some questions are just questions and some are more than just a question, but God does want to know where are you? Spend some time alone with God and this answer today and know that this is the only question and answer that matters!

Let’s Pray:
Thank You Father! Father, today I am answering You, I’m no longer, hiding, blaming or acting like I don’t see and hear You! Today, Father, I’m truly confessing my sins and I’m trusting You to comfort and redeem me! My answer is Yes God to Your Will and to Your Way! Father, I’m answering Your call today and I’m willing to go wherever You say, more of You and none of me! In Jesus Christ Mighty Name. Amen!

Blessings…
