Hide and Seek

Day 5

“But the LORD God called to the man, ‘Where are you?’”Genesis 3:9

“Where are you?” That was God’s first question to Adam and Eve when they turned away in sin. It is not that they were physically lost, though he and his wife were attempting to hide from God (Genesis 3:8). But God cannot be tricked. He knows everything (Psalm 139:1-3). They were experiencing the consequence of their sin—alienation from God. Ever since, men and women who are spiritually lost have wandered on their own (Isaiah 53:6), trying to hide whenever they sense God is near.

God hasn’t given up the hunt. Jesus came to seek and save those who are lost, (Luke 19:10) and we can join with Him in this mission. What better way to do so than to follow God’s example by asking, “Where are you in your spiritual journey?” 

Thought

The first step of a spiritual conversation is often a question.

Take a Step

Ask a casual acquaintance or somebody on your 10+ List about his or her spiritual journey. Use questions such as “What is your religious background or experience?” “What have you tried in your spiritual journey?” “Where are you now spiritually?” “Do you think you are moving toward God, away from God or staying about the same?” 

If you've engaged in spiritual conversations, what questions have you used this week and how was the response?
