SUITABLE HELPER

Gen 2:20
20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field.
But for Adam no suitable helper was found. NIV
** Adam was one smart man…. If I was there naming the animals this world would be a mess! I look at this verse and it amazes me at how intelligent Adam must have been. You got to figure that not only did he name the animals but he also had to remember them all day every day! I have a hard time remembering my own kids names at times…. . The other thing that stands out here to me is the statement “no suitable helper was found.” Another word here could be “partner.” You see, a partner is an equal. Remember it said “they become ONE flesh.” I’m not talking authority roles here. I’m talking about helping each other to accomplish the goals God has for each person. I want to be a partner to my wife so I can help her become as much like Jesus as she can be and I know that she has the same desire for me too. This year, let us be suitable helpers to our spouses. If you are not married, then practice being a suitable helper to God… help Him be fully Lord in your life by submitting to Him.
