Genesis 2:20. God Puts Us to Work to Teach Us Our Lack

on

Genesis 2:20 “And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.” 

    When Adam fulfilled his high privilege and responsibility of participating in God’s work of creation, he learned beautiful things about His Creator, but he also learned something very important about himself. As he discovered that all of God’s creatures came in pairs, he no doubt began to wonder, where’s mine?  

    The same principle holds true today. As you respond to God’s call to participate in His work of redemption, your own needs and deficiencies become glaringly obvious. At the same time, however, you will constantly see evidences of God’s goodness, wisdom and power to provide for your lack, and you will learn what it means to wait on the Lord.

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).
