Where Art Thou?

"And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?"  Genesis 3:9.  Adam and Eve had hidden from God.  God walked in the garden.  God called out to Adam and Eve.  By means of the gospel, God calls out to everyone.  Let us not hide from Him, but rather, let us seek Him.  God desires our fellowship.  He offers His friendship.  God's question to Adam was, "Where are you?"  God knew they had hidden from Him.  Nothing can be kept from Him who sees all and knows all.  Adam and Eve had changed sides.  They had listened to the devil.  Sin had taken hold of their hearts.  They were in the devil's camp.  Where are we?  Are we in the Lord or out of the Lord?  Are we in the church or out of the church?  Are we in the camp of sin or are we in the camp of righteousness?  We need to ask ourselves, "Where are we?"  God already knows.  Our future depends upon where we are.  Adam and Eve were driven from the paradise that God had given to them.  The devil can provide no paradise.  To follow Satan will bring hardship and loss.  Where are we?
