Genesis 3:8-9
[8]And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
[9]But the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, Where are you?
Here’s the first way. Where are you? Where are you in your life today? What’s it look like? What’s going on?
Where are you in your life of prayer and spirituality? Where are you in your friendships and relationships, in your marriage, parenting? Where are you in your work? Where are you in those things that have left you brokenhearted and grieving? Where are you in those things you regret and wish you hadn’t said or done, in your disappointments, failures? Where are you in your joys and thanksgivings?
That question – Where are you? – is the invitation to be self-reflective, to look at your life, to observe what’s going on. But don’t take the next step and turn it into a conclusion or a judgment. It’s just information. It’s about honestly looking at ourselves and saying, “This is where I am.” And maybe it’s also saying, “And this is where I’d like to be,” or “This is where I am not,” or “This is where I never want to go again.” “Where are you?” asks us to simply notice what’s going on, for better or worse.
I wonder what you see when you follow and ponder that question, “Where are you in your life today?”
PRAY: You are my God. Show me what you want me to do, and let your gentle Spirit lead me in the right path.... Teach me to do thy will Oh Lord. Amen.
Good bless you for reading.
