Genesis 3:8 And they heard the voice 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 amongst the trees of the garden.
Have you watched movies where one person is being chased and is hiding behind the trees in a wooded area? Everyone in the scene moves real stealthily so as not to give themselves away but one single move that makes a sound like crushing dried leaves brings attention to the target and then the pace escalates.
Now imagine Adam and Eve trying to hide from God. The scriptures say, “They heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day”.
The Psalmist rightly says in Psalm 139:7 “Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?”
Yet like Adam and Eve how often do we forget that we cannot flee His presence? His footprints are indelibly marked on all of creation.
That the incident in the garden ended with a redemption plan stands as a covenant to this day. Instead of running away let us run to Him because His compassions never fail and He is just to forgive.
Truly I repeat as the Psalmist says..."Where O Lord, can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?"
