Hiding From God

"And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden."  Genesis 3:8.  Adam and Eve had eaten from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  They had listened to the devil rather than having listened to God.  As God walked in the garden, Adam and Eve hid themselves from Him.  Some do not care what God thinks about them.  They boldly go forth and sin at leisure.  They do not seek to hide from Him nor do they seek to hide their sin.  But, others have a conscious awareness of God.  They do not openly flaunt their sin.  Adam and Eve were unable to hide themselves and the sin that they had committed.  Neither can we nor anyone.  God sees all and knows all.  His presence is everywhere.  Nothing can be hidden from Him.  We must not hide our sin, but rather, confess our sin.  We must seek forgiveness of our sin.  God rewards right behavior, and God punishes bad behavior.  God knows where we are and what we are doing.  Let us be mindful of that truth and, therefore, always do right.  Let us seek God rather than hide from God.
