Hiding From God
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.
Sinful men always try to hide from God:
By trying to put Him out of their minds.
By thinking that He is some where afar-off.
By professing agnosticism, infidelity, atheism, gnosticism, heathenism, etc..etc..
Hiding is in vain:
Psalms 139:1-12
[1] O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
[2] Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
[3] Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
[4] For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
[5] Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
[6] Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
[7] Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
[8] If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
[9] If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
[10] Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
[11] If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
[12] Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
God finds men through:
Their Consciences....
The laws of nature...
The Church...
The Holy Spirit...
Final Judgment.
The Lesson:
Numbers 32:23 ”..be sure your sin will find you out. “
Proverbs 15:3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
