THE FIRST PROFOUND QUESTION –
WHERE ARE YOU?
“Then the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”
Genesis 3:8 (NLT)
One of the most profound questions asked in the entire Bible and the history of mankind is the question asked by God:
“Where are you?”
This question wasn’t a display of ignorance. God is all-knowing; therefore, was not having any difficulty locating the man.
God doesn’t ask questions because He is ignorant of answers. Since He is all-knowing, He is relational and doesn’t impose His ability of knowledge.
Every communication of God is to take us on a journey of understanding.
A deeper consideration of His questions and interactions with people launches one into a richer understanding of His thought patterns, justice, wisdom, rightfulness, love and His person.
God’s questions lead men into light. Unlike God, every question asked by the devil is to lead people astray. He is a deciever, an accuser and a destroyer.
The devil doesn’t ask questions to give life or to enlighten hearts. He only asks questions to enforce and execute his evil plots.
Actually, the first recorded question in the Bible was asked by the devil. And your guess is right, it was the question that led man into corruption.
“The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord God had made. One day he asked the woman, “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?” Genesis 3:1 (NLT)
The question asked was as though the adversary had clear knowledge of the exact things God said, but a careful look into the question exposes his ignorance and deceptiveness.
The devil doesn’t ask you questions to usher you into answers. He asks questions to usher you into confusion and destruction.
All you have to do is remain resolute in the word of God.
Don’t treat the questions of the devil the same way you treat the questions of the Lord.
Every question asked by the devil points you to “a self” outside God. It points you away from God. It paints an identity which creates enmity and separation from God.
Every question aske isd by God unveils His love and care, plan and purpose, provision and abundant resources.
His questions don’t condemn but to convict your heart. He doesn’t suppress and leave you empty. He supplies and satisfies your heart.
The question, WHERE ARE YOU?
Shows the gravitational focus of God’s heartbeat.
It establishes the profound reality that God is interested in man, whether man turns to Him or not.
Man rejected and trampled God’s word underfoot, turned away from God and after facing the consequence of the deception of the devil, he was stricken by guilt and shame.
God is asking mankind this same question:
Where are you?
He doesn’t want you to hide from Him. He doesn’t want you to be away from Him. He wants you to enjoy His presence. He wants you to stay with Him.
God loves that man will be with Him.
Therefore, He fully came in the person of Christ, so that through His finished work in His death and resurrection, He will indwell man and be with man forever.
God doesn’t want to ask, “Where are you” over and over again.
Now He has dwelt with you through the Holy Spirit.
He said, “I am with you always…” (Matthew 28:20) and “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5).
If you are not saved yet, don’t hide yourself because of sin and guilt.
God has defeated sin and made an eternal provision of forgiveness for you.
Run into His arms to enjoy His love.
As a born-again, the Lord is not asking you where you are in terms of your location (He is fully with you forever). However, He is asking you, “Where are you?” In terms of consciousness and reality. Read the subsequent episodes for answers.
Shalom!

Thank you Lord Jesus
I always confront that adversary with what God has said to me. I do not allow the adversary to steal the word of God from my heart. I remain resolute in the word of God.
I do not treat the questions of the devil the same way I treat the questions of the Lord
Benjamin Okyere
Wow 🤩 this is enlightening
After all man’s disobedience it was God who went about looking for man and now God has become one with us through Jesus so now the question
Where are you ? Is to bring you to the deep consciousness of your true self
Not forgetting who Christ has made you
Because the devil will always try to use his schemes to make you doubt your true self but in all we look into the word of God that reveals our true identity.
Now God through the Holy Spirit and his word is calling forth your true self so you put the false identity aside and take up your true self.
The daily renewal of the mind is essential to help put the devil in his place

Glory to God.
The adversary questions always throws dust and lies at God’s word in a very deceitful way. Every question asked by the devil makes a believe who doesn’t know God’s word doubt the word.
But not God
Every question asked by God unveils His love and care, plan and purpose, provision and abundant resources.
God does not ask questions to make us doubters…he asks questions to supply love and knowledge to us.
The devil has been a deceiver from the beginning and still looking for gullible believers to deceive.
But thank God for His word..that hs shaped our minds. We know his schemes and we will not allow them to sway us.
We are permanently buried in the word of Grace.
We walk in the.light of God’s word.
God is still asking where are you but it’s more of consciousness if you are a believer. God’s where are you is crying for our maturity in truth!
I am glad I have the word of God
