Just right

In the Garden of Eden, GOD had made Adam and Eve the ideal abode. They could eat and not get fat. They could relax and do nothing. The water was pure, the food was free of preservatives, the air was clean, everything was perfect. GOD had placed Adam in the Garden of Eden to take care of it and to tend to it. He looked down one day and noticed that something was needed...

Today's word is Genesis 2:18, NLT, which reads, "Then the LORD GOD said, 'It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.'"

Now, I don't know what Adam was doing at the time that GOD decided he needed a helpmate but whatever it was, GOD knew Adam needed a helper. Now, understand, that NOTHING occurs to GOD. He knew man wasn't going to be complete without woman; He KNEW. But, He saw Adam doing whatever and said, "It is not good for man to be alone," and He created woman.

I find that if left to my own devices, I usually find a way to mess something up or make a complete fool of myself. GOD gave me a helpmate, Trish, to try and keep me straight. There is no doubt that Trish keeps me on track, reminds me what I need to do, where I need to be, when I need to be there. She is truly my helpmate.

For the ladies out there, you know that it is absolutely true that your husband would be lost without you. Men, you know that it is definitely not good for you to be alone. Aren't you glad that GOD knew it? Aren't you glad He looked around and said, "Hey, he needs some help." Then, I am forever grateful that He gave me Trish, a helper who is just right for me.

Be Blessed,
