Hide-and-seek is a game that most children play. But did you know that trying to hide - or to live apart from God - is a common human trait? From the earliest pages in the Bible, it has been hard for mankind to obey and please God. This stubborn attitude, combined with not trusting God is how sin* entered the world. As people become aware that both good and evil exist, they feel shame and try to hide from God - to live apart from Him. Today's video gives some insight into how we try to hide from God, His ways, and His love.
Watch I Live Apart From God

We cannot stay hidden from God. He knows where to find us. When caught we feel shame and try even harder to get away. That is often what sin causes us to feel. Our sins may be obvious, like stealing something, or subtle, such as a hurtful thought. We all sin and come short of how God would want us to live. In truth, we cannot play hide-and-seek with God. He knows; yet He loves us anyway.
God wants no one to live apart from Him.
*Sin is any thought or action that displeases God.
Sin does not cause God to turn away from us. Day three will show what God did to overcome sin and provide a way to have a relationship with Him.
But God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths. And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.”
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear.
