Geneis 3:6-9 says 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise,[b] she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths. 8 And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool[c] of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the LORD God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”So we know....Adam and Eve tripped, the sinned, they believed Satan over the promises of GOD. We like them, JUST LIKE THEM have been abundantly blessed and provided for in this life, and at some end pass, we have all chose to take a bite out of, or of_________________ and immediately realized I SHOULD HAVE NEVER ____________________. But the results of our sin or sinful ways is no different than in this scriptural excerpt. When Adam & Eve realized their critical mistake, they hid, and GOD did what??????? Verse 9 informs us they heard GOD walking in the garden. He wasn't there to pick vegetables or to fill his basket with the freshest produce, but rather He was there to recover His lost children, and even though He was deeply hurt by their sinful choices blessed them (read on through Genesis 3 to see how He blessed them) after having to escort them out of the Garden. HE STILL WANTS US after we have sinned against Him, My GOD!
It's been said that in life we are either running from GOD or to GOD, and I want you to pause long enough to assess what & which are you doing? Have you disgraced or disappointed your Heavenly Father and have chose to hide yourself from attending a church, or joining a small group? Do you actually think you are beyond HIS grace, mercy and forgiveness? Let me assure you this, IF YOU ARE ALIVE, HE is pursuing you. He's sending people much like myself that would dare to blog about Him, that would attempt to communicate His love on the job and in LIFE in hopes that you stop running away from him, and that you'd stop running and rest in His presence and then purpose your next steps for your well-being and His GLORY! LGLP
Here's another scripture and a link to a song to help you reflect on what it is that you are doing? 1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. (Hebrews 12:1-3)
