Genesis 3:9

Genesis 3:9

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

God was not asking because He didn't know — He is all-knowing. He called because He wanted Adam to come to Him. God always comes looking for us.

Memory phrase: God comes looking for us.

Talk about it: Why do you think God called 'Where are you?' if He already knew where Adam was?

Prayer: God, thank You for always looking for me even when I hide.
