Where are you?
Genesis 3:9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
Because of guilt Adam and Eve hid themselves from a visual presentation of God. God called to Adam, not because He did not know where Adam was, but to bring forth a confession of what he had done. Adam's fear when God approached manifested that separation had now come between God and man as a result of sin.
Adam and Eve were separated from God because of sin, though they were still in the garden, a place of God's grace and full of God's provisions, yet they were out of God's divine purpose and Will.
God called out, where art thou?
You may be in the sanctuary of God but not in God,
You may be called with the name of God but long gone away from God.
Judas was with Christ, dined and wined with Him, listened to His teachings, performed signs and wonders in His name yet he was out of Christ, the devil had already taken Him and
destroyed him eventually.
Where are you?
Are you still in God or out of His presence?
In time past we were first separated from God, but in His infinite mercy sent His son to bridge the gap between man and God. Galatians 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 4:5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
But out of carelessness and lustful desire many who has tasted the goodness of God in Christ returned back to the devil in secrecy, and yet still claim to be in God.
Jesus Christ said to the hypocrites...
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Christ power is still very much available to the derailed and those who has been separated from the grace of God. Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
You may be in the garden of Eden but may be out of God's presence, your ways of sin and desires of this world may have driven you away from His presence.
With the life you are living, hope you are still in God or you have been derailed from His grace
Where are you?
There is no better place than to be in God.
If you are out of His presence, Come back to Him today and enjoy His goodness made available in His Son.
God bless you.
