IS TO PROVIDE FOR US

Geneis 2:16-20b-22 Then the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for[b] him.” But for Adam[d] there was not found a helper fit for him. 21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man he made[e] into a woman and brought her to the man.

GOD's timing is always perfect.  He didn't create Adam before the foundations of the World, nor did He introduce Eve to Adam, before establishing Adams responsibility towards a relationship with Him, and work for him.  But He saw that beyond Adam's responsibility to have a relationship with Him, & work, but also that he would need to have someone by his side to "help" him through life.  Which is why GOD said it's not good for man to be alone.  

 No matter who you are everyone needs somebody.  This is just the way GOD wired us.  You can wrap it in the physical or emotional but spiritually we were created for community, with GOD & others.   Ask the single mom/dad is life easier without someone committed to them0, and them committed to them.  Ask the college student who could use a study partner.  Ask the person suffering through an difficult diagnosis.  The WORD OF GOD IS TRUE (Ecc.4:9-12)Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. 10 For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! 11 Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? 12 And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

So as you prepare to go to work, or just go out....think about this:  Have I been trying to do this alone?   Where has it gotten me?  It is not a coincidence that you live where you live and work where you work.  GOD has orchestrated you to have these neighbors that need you, and you need them.   THOSE PEOPLE on the job need you, and you need them.   Your challenge if you choose to accept, is to discover the unique blessing they have for you, and vice versa...cause their life & your life are gifts to one another.  For my single women/men commit your life and ways to the LORD  (As Adam did) and when HE sees that you are ready for your "help meet" HE will PROVIDE!  LGLP
