Where art thou?

"And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?" (Genesis 3:9)

Art thou hiding thyself away from Him who would send thee forth to do His own blessed work in His own way? Oh, let me say to thee this morning, "The Lord hath need of thee."

It may seem to be only a little thing He has for you to do, but it is an important one.

He has "need of thee." Turn not thy back upon Him; put not thyself out of the way of being employed by Him; do not begin by laying down laws for thyself as to what thou wilt do and what thou wilt not do; but cry out from the very depth of thy heart, "Here am I, send me".

W.H.A.
