“Where are you?” (Genesis 3:9). It’s God’s first recorded question in all of history, the shortest question of the entire Hebrew Bible, and it hasn’t stopped echoing across the topography of time. Only three words: Where are you? The most life-changing questions always are the shortest. In Hebrew it’s actually only one word: ayekah. That one word God is speaking into this moment, even right now: “Where are you? Where are you? Where are you?” Where are you going with your life? Where is your soul on the way? Where you are—is this truly where you want to be?
