5-Day Devotional: From Hiding to Seeking
Day 1: The Garden Question
Reading: Genesis 3:1-13
Devotional: "Where are you?" God's question in the garden wasn't about location—it was about relationship. When Adam and Eve hid among the trees, wrapped in hastily sewn fig leaves, God came seeking. Today, consider where you might be hiding from God. What fig leaves have you fashioned to cover your shame, mistakes, or fears? The enemy still whispers, "Did God really say...?" planting seeds of doubt about God's character and goodness. But remember: God doesn't seek you to shame you, but to clothe you. He already knows where you are and what you're hiding. The question isn't whether He sees you—it's whether you'll step out of the shadows and into His loving presence. Today, bring one hidden thing into His light.

Day 2: The Word that Creates
Reading: John 1:1-14
Devotional: "In the beginning was the Word." Before creation existed, God's Word existed. That same Word spoke galaxies into being, parted seas, and called prophets. Now that Word has become flesh and dwelt among us. Jesus is not just words about God—He is God's Word made tangible, touchable, knowable. When darkness threatens to overwhelm, remember that the Word who created light itself has entered your world. The logos—the reason and mind of God—remains constant even when everything around you shifts and changes. Today, you don't just read about God's promises; you encounter the Promise Keeper Himself. Let the reality sink in: the Word of God will never fail because the Word of God is a Person who loves you and will never leave you.

Day 3: Light in the Darkness
Reading: John 8:12; Ephesians 5:8-14
Devotional: "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it." Darkness doesn't just represent evil—it represents everything that makes us want to hide: our failures, fears, and shame. But Jesus didn't come with a spotlight to expose and humiliate; He came as Light to guide us home. Light reveals not to destroy but to heal. When we step into His light, we see ourselves as we truly are—broken yet beloved, fallen yet found. The beautiful paradox of faith is this: being fully seen by God is not dangerous; it's what saves us from everything else. Today, identify one area of your life you've kept in darkness. Ask Jesus to shine His healing light there, trusting that His revelation leads to restoration, not condemnation.

Day 4: Clothed by Grace
Reading: Genesis 3:21; Galatians 3:26-27
Devotional: Before Adam and Eve left the garden, God did something remarkable. Their fig leaves weren't enough, so God made a sacrifice—the first glimpse of grace in scripture. An innocent animal died so they could be properly clothed for the journey ahead. Millennia later, another sacrifice was made. Jesus, the Lamb of God, was slain so we could be clothed in righteousness we didn't earn and don't deserve. This is the scandalous beauty of grace: even when consequences remain, God covers us. You may face the results of your choices, but you won't face them naked and ashamed. Today, stop trying to fashion your own coverings from pride, busyness, or religious performance. Receive the garment He offers—woven from mercy, stitched with love, and purchased at Calvary.

Day 5: Ready or Not
Reading: Revelation 22:12-21
Devotional: Three times in Revelation's final chapter, Jesus declares, "I am coming soon." Ready or not, here He comes. From Genesis to Revelation, from the garden to the new creation, God has been the one who seeks. He sought Adam among the trees. He sought His people in Egypt's bondage. He sought us in Bethlehem's stable. And He will seek us again when He returns. Epiphany season reminds us that God doesn't play hide-and-seek to win—He seeks so we can be found. Today, live as one who is already found, already known, already loved. Let this truth transform how you approach each moment: you are not running from an angry God but running toward a Father who has never stopped looking for you. Come out of hiding. Step into the light. He's been waiting for you all along.
