Hide and Seek

When I was little, I used to love playing hide and seek. My favorite part was hiding. In about a week, we'll read about Adam and Eve hiding from God. But I was stopped short on verse two today, "God delights in concealing things."

Does God like to play hide and seek? Is his favorite part hiding too? Remeber these verses from Acts 17? "Starting from scratch, God made the entire human race and made the earth hospitable, with plenty of time and space for living so we could seek after God, and not just grope around in the dark but actually find him. He doesn't play hide-and-seek with us. He's not remote; he's near. We live and move in him, can't get away from him!"

I guess that settles it. God's not playing games with us. His favorite part is when we find our identity and purpose in him.

Welcome to Holy Week.
