Fiveamprayer we have to know that this simple question to Adam in the garden of Eden after being disobedient is a question for all of us today.  We know that Yahweh is the all seeing, all knowing, all powerful, mightiest of the Mighty Ones!  Surely He knows precisely where Adam is located.  The real thing that He is teaching Adam and us today is do we know where we are?  Much like a small child who will wander off in the store and will hear the call of there parent, to look around to find 'where their location is'.  We receive our directional point from the highest authority, the Creator of the Universe, Yahweh.  Our moral and spiritual compass is found in Yahweh and His word.  Without His guidance will we know when we have strayed?  In this question, we find if we have gone too far?  This question causes us to check our position, did we stop short of the goal?  We can see with
Adam and Eve that were in hiding, is not a response that works for this question.  Because they did not want to face their misstep, wrong decision or action.
When wrong doing is found in a community--that has clear definitions of the good and right things to do, address the issue of the wrong doers to feel shame.  This shame stems from consequences and inflicts the offenders to make repairs and return to the correct way.  The clear boundaries in communities and well known expectations motivates those in error to return to the right way.  Adam and Eve were a community of 2 and they both were out of position to provoke the other to return to the correct way.  This question is to give us pause and consider where we are.  How did we get here?  What actions ended in this result?  What changes can be made to effect a different result?  To truly take stock of our current situation to know where we are that we don't have to hide when Yahweh comes to ask us Ayekea?  Click here to hear this teaching again.
