Today’s Verse:
Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper as his partner.” – Genesis 2:18
In the story of creation, the Bible points out that after creation God looks upon His work and deems it as good. After man was created, He elevates this appreciation by saying, “very good.” However, in this verse, God said, “it is not good for a man to be alone.” From a good God’s perspective, He wouldn’t just leave it that way, He took action. That is why later in the book God made a perfect match for the man, a woman, to whom Adam gave the name Eve. And suddenly the very situation that is not good in God’s sight became good, for Adam was no longer alone.
This story reminds us that God wants to correct the bad things He sees in our lives and turn it into something good. We may not always understand God’s plan or His timing but you can rest assured that no matter the situation, God wants to take action and wants only the best for us. – Commentary by Dionivie Tacder
Today’s Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I surrender all the messes in my life to You. Help me recover from them. Please let me experience Your goodness once again as You turn things around. I believe in You and thank You for being my loving and good God. Amen!
