Be Patient...He's Asleep!

The one thing about the Lord that I LOVE is that He's consistent. He's consistent with His Word and when you want to know how he does things, just go to the Word of God.

I love the story of Adam and Eve...not just the story, but how he created them for each other. Adam was created first and God realized that he was alone and found that it wasn't good. What we don't hear much is that God didn't think about making the woman first...

"And the LORD God said, 'It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.' Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name." (Genesis 2:18-19)

As we can see, God created animals FIRST, thinking that they would keep Adam company, but it didn't work because in verse 20 it says "...But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him."

As we read on to verses 21-22 "And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man."

Do you see what I see? God had to put the man to sleep in order to create the helper that was right for Adam. Not just that, but in verse 22 it says that God then took the rib that he had taken from Adam and made it into a woman. Ha! God is baaaaad to be able to create a woman from a rib. The most beautful thing about the next point is this "...and then He brought her to the man". This means, God went some place else, away from where the Adam was sleeping and built this woman.

My point is...we as women of God need to be patient because the man that God has created us for is asleep. Why do you think he's asleep? Because He hasn't finished putting US together yet. What are you doing to allow God to build you into the woman that God's Man is looking for? Sitting by the window, going out to clubs and prancing in front of every Tom, Dick and Harry isn't going to get it done. It's allowing the Lord to do HIS WORK in you. It's time to stop daydreaming and get into the Word of God and ask God to fix those areas that need fixing. God isn't going to send His best to just anyone...and I don't mean that to be a put down...I mean that to say, God's best will attract God's best. If you are attracting anything less than that...it's time to go to God and let him make you over again.

After you are made over and God presents you to THE MAN that He has for you, then the man will say what Adam said in verse 23..."This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh;..." When he looks at you, He will KNOW that you have been created JUST FOR HIM. Be Still my sister in the Lord...Yo Man is Asleep waiting on YOU!!!
