In Genesis 3:8-10 Adam and Eve, after disobeying God’s command not to eat fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It reads, “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?” He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”
Aren’t we like that sometimes, we want to hide from God. Perhaps we have gotten mad at Him, or sinned against Him, but whatever the reason, trying to hide from Him is the last thing that God wants. If we have somehow damaged our relationship with God (God will never turn His back on us so any discord is ultimately our fault), He desires reconciliation, not hiding and ignoring the problem. As the Prophet Jeremiah writes in Chapter 19: 11-12 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.” God wants the best for us. He desires our love and He wants to love us.
Face God and He will give you life.
