“Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, Where are you?” Genesis 3:9
After Adam hid himself from the presence of the Lord, God came to him asking the question, “Where are you?” Of course, God already knew where Adam was, but Adam still had to admit to himself and to God where he was. Sometimes in our lives, when we are living for vanity, when we are in our own little world with our own self-centered goals and aims, there comes a consciousness within us with words that form in our own thoughts saying, “Where am I? What am I doing with my life? Where will my life end up?” It may seem like our own mind talking, but we must realize that God’s voice comes to us as He is writing it into our consciousness — into our own thoughts and heart.
God is talking to us through our own consciousness. This way of speaking is according to the new covenant. He is not merely talking to us, but He is infusing and supplying into us the very thing He is speaking about. You probably do not realize how much of the Lord’s speaking you have in your daily life. For example, you may remember someone during the day. Perhaps as you are washing the dishes, you think about that person. Actually it is the Lord speaking to you, putting that person on your heart so that you would pray for him or give him a phone call. It is in these practical ways that Christ manifests Himself in us as our life.
