This powerful exploration of Genesis takes us back to the very beginning of relationships—our relationship with God. We're invited to consider the concept of spiritual orienteering: just as being off by one degree can lead us miles from our destination in the wilderness, small shifts away from God can dramatically alter the course of our lives. The message walks us through the beauty of Genesis 1-3, where we see God as the hero who brings abundant life out of chaos, creating humanity as the pinnacle of His creation—not just good, but very good. Yet in Genesis 3, we witness a subtle but devastating shift: Eve engages with the serpent, and the intimate name 'Yahweh' disappears from the text, replaced by the generic 'Elohim.' This isn't just linguistic detail—it's a relational rupture. We're reminded that Adam and Eve experienced immediate spiritual death, separation from God's presence, and the entrance of shame into human relationship. But here's the hope: God didn't leave us there. Even in the moment of rejection, He provided covering for their shame through the first sacrifice, pointing forward to Jesus. Today, we face the same choice they did—to turn toward God or away from Him. The question isn't whether God is present, but whether we've shifted our gaze. Through reading Scripture, prayer, and listening, we can constantly reorient our hearts toward the One who created us for abundant life.
