Man's presence is God's concern. Not only because he is God's creation that is why he is special but also because he is the first and direct recepient of the command to rule over all God's creation.
Man, where are you?
Genesis 2:15 Then the LORD God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and guard it.
Knowing that man's first job is to cultivate and guard the garden God provided for him to live, he diligently prove himself that he is a good steward of earthly things through skills and talents. Even today, man's first concern evolve only to his family, to his workplace, to his community, etc. Thinking about what to eat, what to wear, where to go, what to do, what the future about... is a routine to every man's lifestyle. More of these, one thing is neglected... His Creator.
Instead of delighting himself to the Lord, man is busy. Isn't busyness a sin? If we are more concern about things around us, this means our heart goes with that what we mostly concern about. Man is busy building his own kingdom (family, job status, etc.). How about God's kingdom?
It seems that man is missing inside God's community. He is sounding the alarm saying, "Man, WHERE ARE YOU?
Man, where are you? Let us delight ourselves to God. Let us lead our family draw near to God. Let us be the leaders of God's kingdom on earth. Let us stand as Man of God.
