Genesis1-3. Helpmate. God recognized and provided a helpmate for Adam. He needed her and God provided. It was still essential for both Adam and Eve to remain in intimate relationship with God to live the life God had purposed for them. Failing in this they became easy targets for the enemy’s deception. They fell because they listened to and acted upon the wrong voices… the serpent’s and then their own.
Lord, please help us to walk closely with you. We admit the tendency is to wander, to do things without first consulting you. We see how this caused Adam and Eve to be deceived and to sin. We repent of our self-reliance, and we place our reliance on you this day. Thank you, Lord, for your Holy Spirit who gently helps us as we put our trust, our hope, and our dependence upon you. Amen.
