Listen "Stop Hiding"
Episode Synopsis
The first RECORDED QUESTION God ever ASKED was, '[Adam]...WHERE are YOU?' And it's a QUESTION YOU need to STOP and ASK YOURSELF today: 'WHERE am l REALLY?' If you DON'T know the ANSWER, or you DO but you DON'T like it, then TODAY'S devotion is for YOU. When God ASKED Adam, 'WHERE are YOU?' he RESPONDED by SAYING, 'l HEARD you in the GARDEN, and l was AFRAID because l was naked; so l hid' (v.10 NIV). It's AMAZING the LENGTHS we will GO to in ORDER to HIDE. We will BURY ourselves in WORK or get INVOLVED in an AFFAIR or BUILD a wall AROUND our hearts- anything BUT face the TRUTH.
God WASN'T trying to FIND Adam; He just WANTED Adam to find HIMSELF. Until you do THAT, you are TRULY lost. And the problem is, when YOU hide you BECOME a phoney. Have you any idea how much EMOTIONAL energy it REQUIRES to keep up a CHARADE for others? Only TWO things are WORSE: being a PHONEY with YOURSELF and being a PHONEY with God. Furthermore, you will find it DIFFICULT to be HONEST with OTHERS or look THEM in the eye. Why? Because you will be AFRAID they MIGHT look into YOUR heart and SEE the REAL you. Is that WHERE you are TODAY? AFRAID to look INTO your own HEART? The good NEWS is, Adam was NAKED but God CLOTHED him; he was GUILTY but God CLEANSED him; he was ANXIOUS but God COMFORTED him. And if you COME to Him TODAY God will CLEANSE you, CLOTHE you and COMFORT you. He is just WAITING for the OPPORTUNITY to DO it!

Anchor Scripture: 'THE LORD GOD CALLED TO THE MAN, "WHERE ARE YOU?"' (Genesis 3:9 NIV)
Prayer Point: Heavenly Father, You know me more than l know myself, for nothing can be hidden before you so Search me O God and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, for l desire to be pure in heart before you in Jesus name.
Stay Blessed!
