Genesis 2:18-20
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 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.
Genesis 2:18-20. According to Scripture, after God spoke of the reality of man's psyche, "It is not good that the man should be alone" the next passage does not seem to fit our order of doing things.
God first brought the animals before Adam and enabled him (supernaturally) to name them and to see that they were not suitable as companions for him. Before their suitability was spoken of, Adam began and finished the work that God had set before him. He focused on being obedient to God regarding the task he had been given instead of fulfilling for himself the need that was also placed in him to not be alone.
God is The Great Multitasker. He accomplishes more than we can imagine with what seems like one task or "project." If we view His work or "projects" from our little perspective, we will miss much of what He is really doing.
This life is not about us and our needs, it is about God and His Kingdom.
When you think you understand or don't understand what is happening around you, ask God to open your eyes to see what He desires you to see. Then wait for Him to reveal to you what He wants to reveal to you and it will most often "blow your mind!" So many times God's perspective just takes my breath away!
