Deuteronomy 4:27-29 “The LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive among the nations to which the LORD will drive you. 28 There you will worship man-made gods of wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or eat or smell. 29 But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.”

Song of Solomon 7:10, “I belong to my beloved, and his desire is for me.”

Of course, we know they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. We see in Gen 3:8-9 that God called out to them, “Where are you?” This story shows us that even in our sin God still wants us and comes looking for us. The rest of the Bible is the story of God calling us back to Himself.
