—Genesis 2:18-24
by: Kennedy Ochs.
In the first chapters of Genesis, we see that God created many things and called them “good.” Here we encounter the first thing that God said was not good: “It is not good for the man to be alone” (v.18). We are not intended to live our lives alone. We are meant to live our lives in community, with the support of others. Whether this is found in a spouse or a close-knit community (or both), God has placed people in our lives to fulfill our need for support. Trust in the loved ones God has given you—rely on them and accept their support.
