“And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? Genesis 3:9 When I was about 11 years old I remember receiving a list of chores to do when my mother went to work. I would play until the very last minute until my brothers would say, Mama is coming! I remember putting everything that was on the floor in the closet. I did this for several days. When my mother came in this time I don't know what made her open that closet door but when she did, EVERYTHING came tumbling out. All I heard was “GET ME THAT BELT!” and I ran. I remember running outside and she ran behind me. I ran around the car and she came after me but could not catch me. That was a big mistake! She stopped, turned around and said “That's alright Sista you got to come inside at some time and I will be waiting!” OMG!!!!, at that moment I wished I would have never ran. It was utter torture standing outside with thoughts of having to go back in to catch a whoopin, from a mother who I made extremely angry by running. When Adam sinned he (in a sense) ran outside. He was the one who left, not God Isaiah 59:1-2, God came looking for him. Do you really think God did not know where he was or what he did? Genesis 3:8-9 “And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? Genesis 3:9 There is no need to hide from God. He already knows what is in your closet. Psalm 139:2 and only He can clean it up. The very thing you need God for is the very thing Satan will use to keep you outside. Although you may find it hard to communicate with God, He said He will never forsake us, even if you make your bed in Hell. Psalm 139:7-10. He's not waiting for you to come inside to give you a good whopping; instead He's there with you to hold you up "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord : and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand." Psalm 37:23-24 and to guide you back into the safety of His arms. Psalm 139:10 Because of Adam's sin we all were separated from God. But thanks be to God, because one man sin separated us, another Man's (Jesus the Christ) obedience restored us! Romans 5:19 God says, "(insert your name) _____________, where are you? A broken and contrite spirit I will not despise or reject. The Source of all things is calling you. Remember we all have sinned and come short of God's glory Romans 3:23. And while we were yet in our sin Jesus died for us Romans 5:8. Never think you can do this by your own strength Romans 5:6. So Confess 1 John 1:8-9, Be assured you have an advocate 1 John 2:1-2, He knows your heart 1 John 3:20-21 and Come Back Inside boldly Hebrews 4:15-16. Answer God's call today. It's funny, He never really left us. We run outside and He waits for us with loving arms. Isaiah 30:18 You can't find the help you need outside. Believe me the longer you stay outside the more time you will be tortured. Trust me! My Mama taught me that!
