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

Think closely on this, God knows all things, therefor when He called out to Adam it was not for His information, it was to make Adam think. Here yet again is another simple example from walk 1807. When asked during a talk, “Where are you?” the most common response was a blank stare. Each man did an instant inventory of himself and had to search deep for a right answer.

I watched as man after man confessed that they were not where they thought they should be in their walk with Christ. While I praise God for the awakening within their souls for a thirst for that water, I was also at the same time saddened by the burden of the thought that they thought less of themselves than what they should. They were exactly where God needed them at the moment that God needed them to hear what God had to say to them. They were positioned perfectly.

So often we look around us and see men that have been on their walk longer and have more experience, more wisdom, more scriptural knowledge and while that is true, they miss out on the most important issue about their own walk. They are in Christ. As men we tend to look at position as a vantage point. When we look at others as having an advantage over us, then we start placing emotional issue where they do not belong. Envy and strife are born out of that vision of self.

Look at the love in the eyes of a new mother as she holds that child for the first time since receiving that child into this world. Up until that moment that child was as close as it will ever be to the mother, attached, part of her, life in her. Why can’t we see ourselves as in Christ the same way, that we will never be any closer to Christ than when we are IN CHRIST?

When we look at what we do as being more important than where we are, we lose that sense of closeness.
