Relationships

Genesis Chp 1:27 states…in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Out of him came both male and female; they were one. That’s why when a male gets married to a female they become one. A him in God’s image is complete when both male and female are present.



Genesis 5:1-2, when God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. He created them male and female and blessed them. And when they were created, he called them “man” which means Adam in Hebrew. Matt 19:4-6 and Mark 10:6-9 Jesus replied to the Pharisees “Haven’t you read, that at the beginning the Creator made them male and female” and said “for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.

Genesis Chp 2:18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” The Lord God is the one that said this, He is the one that was concerned, man didn’t think of the idea of having a helper. 19 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. 20b but for Adam no suitable helper was found. 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and He brought her to the man. The Lord brought the woman to the man. In this case, the man did not go out to look for her, he didn’t even know he was missing a part of him. Also, the woman did not take herself to him-God took her there. Sometimes we women always try to strategize/manipulate various things. However, we need to stay still and God will lead us to him that He has destined for us.



Broadened approach- in life God will bring what you need to you. For the Lord God knows our needs before we utter them.


God also took Ruth to Boaz’s field. When God takes you to certain places don’t fight it. Ruth 2:1 Now Naomi had a relative on her husband's side, from the clan of Elimelech, a man of standing, whose name was Boaz. 2 And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, "Let me go to the fields and pick up the leftover grain behind anyone in whose eyes I find favor." Naomi said to her, "Go ahead, my daughter." 3 So she went out and began to glean in the fields behind the harvesters. As it turned out, she found herself working in a field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelech. God took Ruth to Boaz.

4 Just then Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and greeted the harvesters, "The Lord be with you!" "The Lord bless you!" they called back. 5 Boaz asked the foreman of his harvesters, "Whose young woman is that?" 6 The foreman replied, "She is the Moabitess who came back from Moab with Naomi. 7 She said, "Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves behind the harvesters." She went into the field and has worked steadily from morning till now, except for a short rest in the shelter." 8 So Boaz said to Ruth. "My daughter, listen to me. Don't go and glean in another field and don't go away from here. Stay here with my servant girls. 9 Watch the field where the men are harvesting, and follow along after the girls. I have told the men not to touch you. And whenever you are thirsty, go and get a drink from the water jars the men have filled.

God's plan is the best plan because He provides us with all the provisions we need along the way.

stay blessed
