God Made Marriage

Date: Jan. 8, 2015

Passage

Genesis 2:18-25  (ESV)

Daily Bread

Key Verse: 2:23

First, the man was alone (18-20). God blessed man with good work to do and his word (15-16). The man was busy. The LORD brought all the land animals and birds to the man. Each creature was given a name by man. The man came to know each creature but none was found to be a suitable helper. He was surrounded by life but he was alone. This was not good. Food and work alone cannot satisfy us. We also need meaningful relationships with other people.

Second, God made woman (21-25). God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. God took a rib from his side and formed a woman. She was suitable, physically and spiritually, for the man. God brought the man and woman together. This was the first marriage. The man and woman became one flesh and felt no shame.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for the blessing of marriage. Restore a Biblical view of marriage in our land.

One Word: God established marriage
