Eve

Genesis 3:7-11

Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?” He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.” And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from? ”

Observations

I find it interesting that they realize they were naked. It was just Adam and Eve so why did it matter.  Did they think the animals cared? Or maybe God cared? Why was it so important for them to be clothed. It wasn't until they sinned and their eyes were open that they felt shame about their nakedness. 

And why did God ask where they were? He is God he knew. If you search scripture God asks these type of questions. He know the answers he just wants to hear it from us.  

Ponder this

Are you trying to hide from God?  Stop because there is no where to hid he is everywhere and know everything. There is no possible way to hide. 

Just for fun

Read a good book or at least start on.
