And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. -Genesis 3.10

Why do we hide ourselves from God? It seems as though when we sin, it is sometimes easier to hide from God and pretend that He doesn't see us, than to humble ourselves and restore fellowship with Him. One way solves the problem the other only prolongs the inevitable. The truth of the matter simply is this: you cannot hide from God no matter how hard you try.

Question: Am I hiding from God? Why?

Mission: Examine yourself to see if you are hiding from the Lord and restore fellowship with Him if you are.

Lord, let me be open and transparent in your sight today. I have nothing to hide from you. Bless me and help me to have a spirit of openness with you. Amen.
