"Where Are You?" Reading: Genesis 3:9 https://www.odbm.org/en-GB/devotional/devotional-category/precious-parting-words?ts=1786492800000
“But the LORD God called to the man, ‘Where are you?’” — Genesis 3:9
Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s instruction after being deceived by the serpent. Their disobedience brought shame, fear, and separation from God. God’s question, “Where are you?”, was a call for them to recognize their condition and return to Him.
Take away.
✓Disobedience separates us from God. We should listen to God’s Word and obey His instructions.
✓God calls us back to Himself. Even when people are lost, God seeks them with love and calls them home. We should also reach out to those who are lost and help bring them back to God.

## Where are you?
Prayer
Father God, we have fallen short of Your glory. Lead us back home through Your love and care. Teach us to obey You, reach out to the lost, and draw them back to You. May we faithfully fulfil the Great Commission. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
