Prayer Guide and Devotional – January 12, 2024

Genesis 3:8-9

Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. So the Lord God called out to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”

With Adam and Eve being the first man and woman created and that being before sin entered the world, they must have had a special relationship with the Lord. But, in all the verses in the Bible, it never states they actually walked with the Lord. However, look at these two verses. They had a very special relationship with the Lord. They heard the sound of the Lord walking by. They knew it was the Lord. They were now hiding from God. And now with their sin, they were ashamed and did not want to face the Lord. The Lord called out to them. They did not wonder who was calling. They knew Him. Adam and Eve had a special relationship with God before sin entered this world. It is not stated what that relationship was like but it had to exist because they were created by God in the Lord’s likeness and image. And that is exactly the type of relationship the Lord wants to have with each one of us. We cannot have that relationship with the Lord as long as we are filthy with sin. That is exactly why Jesus died on the cross. To clean each of us from our sin and allow us to have an amazing and close relationship with the creator of this entire world!! We do not have to hide from God like Adam and Eve did. Go right to the Lord right now and tell Him you want to have a close and special relationship with Him!!

Lord, you made us people special. I thank You Lord for that. We have the chance to get so close to You and to know You better. Help me, Lord, to get closer to You and to talk with You and walk with You every day of my life. Thank You Lord! In Jesus name, Amen!!
