Scripture
And they heard the sound 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 among the trees of the garden. Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?” So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.” Genesis 3:8-10
Observation
Everything was perfect. Adam and Eve had everything they needed to be happy and fulfilled. This day started out like any other day and it would have ended like any other day, if only…
But they chose to sin. Sin is always a choice. Sin is usually a secret thing, but everyone knew about this sin; Adam, Eve, the devil and God.
God was in the habit of spending face time with Adam and Eve in the evening and even though He knew what had happened, He still came.
Application
God wants to spend time with me, even when I mess up.
When I sin, I avoid God and hide.
When I sin, I neglect reading my Bible.
When I sin, I put off praying.
But God wants to talk!
When I do something I am not proud of I am tempted to think, "Surely God won’t want to talk with me today. What if He finds out what I’ve done?” Then I remember, He already knows!
It is at these times, when I have messed up that we really need to talk.
Prayer
Lord, I don’t want to play hide and seek. But when I do, please come looking.

Luke 2: 11,12,17
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven the shepherds said to one another, "Lets go to Bethlehem And see this that has happened, which the lord has told us about. So they hurried off... they spread the word.
(O)bservation
They had barely hgotten use to the brightness and their knees were still knocking as they listened to the good news of their day. As the light faded they wanted to go verify what they were beleiveing and then they couldn't help tell every one you ought to know what we do.
(A)pplication
Today God has a message for me am I listening and when I hear it am I willing to go tell others that good news that is setting me free from this world and is my ticket to live with a Holy God?
