CONSIDER

  • What do you know about the book of Leviticus?  
  • How would you describe the presence of God?  
  • Read Genesis 3:8-10.  Why did Adam and Eve hide themselves from the presence of God? 

--After having walked with the Lord and experienced His presence first hand, they suddenly experienced the desire to hide from him.  Put yourself in their place, hiding behind that tree. What do you think they were experiencing? 

--What were God's words to them? 

--Why do you think God asked "where are you"? Given that He is all-knowing, what purpose did this question have? 

4.  How have you encountered God's presence this week? 

5.  Where in your life are you forfeiting the presence of God in exchange for something less fulfilling?  (As the Israelites did with the golden calf.)
