Good morning…
We pick up our story where God left off.
When the woman saw
- that the fruit of the tree was good for food
- and pleasing to the eye,
- and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it.
- She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.
- Then the eyes of both of them were opened,
- and they realized they were naked;
- so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?” (Genesis 3:6-8, NIV).
Hiding beneath the craziness of our self-defensive coverings and disconnecting from our conversational relationship with God, we hear the sound of the LORD walking near us in the garden. “Where are you?” Our Creator calmly calls to the soul of our true self.

P.S. Pondering more, I worked a bit on yesterday’s post. Read the expanded version of Will We Trust And Obey God?
