GENESIS 3:1-13
It takes
only God and you to settle the question of how much time you have left. The
question, “Where are you?” asked by the Almighty God n the Garden of Eden
could be directed to any of us. I believe that we need to start by knowing that
there is difference between a question of love and a question of query. If I
should ask someone, “How are you?”,it is a question of
love, directed at the well being of the person. However, if I ask, “Why
are you doing that?”, this is a query. I believe that the question the
Almighty God asked in the Garden of Eden was a question of love. God was not
querying Adam in anger. If God was angry, He couldn’t have bothered Himself
clothing Adam and Eve. He asked the question to enable them give an answer, and
for something to happen. I pray that whenever God asks you, “Where
are you?” you will answer correctly. It pays to know where you are
because it helps you to know where you are heading for and helps you make
adjustments, if necessary. When He asks us this question, there are various
ways we could give answers. Our situation would be different. I believe that
when the question went to Paul, at the time he was writing to the Philippians,
in Philippians 3:13-14, he said in essence that he had not arrived yet but was
moving in the right direction. He said, “Brethren, do not count myself to have
apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and
reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I pressed toward the goal for
the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Are you pressing forward? Another question
which you will do well to provide an answer to is, “How much time do you have left?”It
takes only God and you to settle the question of how much time you have left.
As a matter of fact, I am not sure any of us can specifically say how much time
we have left. Therefore, only God can deal with that question. This leads to
another question: Where exactly are you in the journey between the day you were
born and the day you will leave this world?

PROVERBS 1:17 –Surely, in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
