"A HELPER SUITABLE FOR HIM!"

Genesis 2:18-22                                 (NASB)
"18 Then "the LORD GOD" said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him "A HELPER SUITABLE FOR HIM". 19 Out of the ground "the LORD GOD" formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him. 21 So "the LORD GOD" caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then HE took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. 22 "The LORD GOD" fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man."




Listening to numerous sermons and commentaries gives me an interesting perspective into the mysteries of the truths in GOD's Word.  Recently, while listening to a pastor from near Houston, I heard him say that when you see "The LORD" with all capital letters it means YAHWEH HIMSELF, the Creator and Sustainer of anything and everything, the all-knowing, all-encompassing Being that has a PLAN that only HE can get glory from.  The enemy, satan himself, has sought to infiltrate "the LORD GOD's" Plan from the beginning.  Mankind usually is complicit in this subversion as our Adamic nature isn't Holy, thus it leads to death and destruction.

When GOD was Creating me, HE also had a Plan for my wife to be born almost three years later.  In my humble opinion, GOD had one of HIS biggest challenges when HE was making "A HELPER SUITABLE FOR HIM"!  HE needed someone with grace, PATIENCE, submissiveness, beauty, stamina, supportive....... and the list could go on for days!   The thing is, YAHWEH HIMSELF knew exactly the traits to instill in my future wife to complete me.  In spite of my praise of her, she has her flaws too, something that GOD gives me tolerance to complete her.  There is nothing that works better than something doing what it was Created to do.  But there is nothing that can replace what it was Created to do either!

GOD's Plan doesn't have contingencies.  The enemy is attempting to sell that god created some of us "differently" and we should be "more accepting" of them.  ALMIGHTY GOD didn't Create one kind of animal to mate with another kind of animal.  HE Created cattle to breed cattle, lions to breed lions, elephants to breed elephants, and so on.  Let a lion try breeding an elephant and you'll see what I mean!  GOD's Plan cannot be improved upon, nor can it be changed to satisfy mankinds desires.  We have to change our desires to satisfy GOD's Plan to satisfy what we were Created to do!  That is the ONLY WAY everything will work properly!

Having a mate who is "A HELPER SUITABLE FOR HIM" is one of the greatest blessings we can enjoy.  My wife and I have been blessed to have only married one person in our lives.  YAHWEH HIMSELF most assuredly had tremendous control over my life, as I could have NEVER chosen as wisely as HE!  No matter how the enemy attempts to interfere with GOD's Plan, I have been blessed to experience how HIS choices over my selfish desires can produce extraordinary results.  Knowing YAHWEH HIMSELF chose "A HEPLER SUITABLE FOR ME" makes me love my wife even more!!!
