The God Who Seeks

Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him,

'Where are you?'

Genesis 3:9

Today's Bible Reading: Genesis 3:9-12.

God’s question to Adam, “Where are you?” was not about geography. It was a question of relationship. After Adam sinned, he hid—ashamed, afraid, and exposed. But God came looking. Not to crush him, but to call him back.

This is the heart of the Father: He seeks us, even when we hide in shame. His question invites reflection—Where are you spiritually? Are you near or far from Me?

Adam’s response reveals the impact of sin: fear, shame, and blame. He says, “I was afraid because I was naked, and I hid myself” (v 10). Then he blames Eve, and ultimately God: “The woman whom You gave to be with me…” (v 12) Sin distorts our hearts and relationships.

Yet even here, grace begins. God does not abandon Adam. Instead, He begins the redemptive journey—a path that leads ultimately to the Lord Jesus, the second Adam, who restores what was broken in Eden.

Today, God still asks: “Where are you?” Not to condemn, but to restore. Don’t hide. Bring your failures, fears, and blame into His light. His mercy meets us there.

Prayer:  Lord, when I wander, call me back. Help me stop hiding and hear Your voice of grace. Thank You for seeking me first. In Jesus' name. Amen.
