Genesis 3
“(8) They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
(9) Then the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”
(10) He said, “I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself.”
The Bible is a marvelous teaching tool written to make us think.
When I read this passage, I don’t see it as God not knowing where Adam was, but instead as His way of saying, “You can’t hide from Me.”
We can deny His existence. We can pretend He can’t see what we’re doing. We can fool ourselves, but we can’t fool Him.
In other words, God is always near us.
When we’re tired, or lonely, or discouraged, God is near. He’s always close enough to hear the smallest, quietest prayer.
