Genesis 2:18. The Higher Purpose of Companionship

on

Genesis 2:18 “And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.” 

    Whenever something is not good, God has a very good solution. No matter how introverted one may be, loneliness is just not a good thing, not socially, not practically, and not spiritually. God Himself does not work alone, and He didn’t design for you to work alone either.

    God’s declaration that it is not good for man to be alone comes in the immediate context of His commandment and warning to Adam about the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, which suggests that the help of his future spouse would not only be social and practical, but also spiritual in nature. Together, man and wife would be stronger to obey the Word of God and resist temptation. If this spiritual purpose in marriage were sought after, nourished and developed today, how much healthier and happier the family would be! What will you do now to help your family believe and obey the Word of God?

The Word of God is bread from heaven. God sent it, but we must gather it, appreciate it, digest it, and live by it. These days it is increasingly scarce. Many are starving for it and don't know it because they keep feasting on bad bread that doesn't satisfy. But if we would learn to carefully gather up the fragments of the True, Heavenly Bread of Life, we would always enjoy a feast of crumbs, because even God's crumbs are miracles mighty to save (Mark 7:24-30). ESPAÑOL: La Palabra de Dios es pan del cielo. Dios lo envió, pero debemos recogerlo, apreciarlo, digerirlo y vivir por él. Hoy en día es cada vez más escaso. Muchos están muriendo de hambre por falta de él sin saberlo porque se alimentan de pan falso que no satisface. Pero si aprendiéramos a recoger cuidadosamente los fragmentos del Verdadero Pan Celestial, Pan de Vida, siempre disfrutaríamos de un banquete de migajas, porque hasta las migajas de Dios son milagros poderosos para salvar (Marcos 7:24-30).
