God's Order or our order? Genesis Chapter 2 - Questions for the Reader (Part 4)

God's Order or our order

Genesis 2:19  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.  (KJV)

In verse 18, God spoke into existence man's need to not be alone.  Yet, the next thing God did seemed to have nothing to do with addressing this need.  God gave Adam a task.  Adam performed the task given to him despite the need that he now carried in his heart and soul. 

Questions:
1.  Are we so obsessed with the need to "not be alone," such that we have no idea what God has given & equipped us to do?
2.  Have we placed our own spin on life and decided to fulfill our desire for companionship with a human first, then resolve to follow God's plan for our life...later?  (After I get married, after I have kids, after...)
3.  Have we allowed God to develop His relationship with us before we have pursued the secondary relationships or things in our life?
