You're right, Mary. I like that verse too, and I believe He is invested in our happiness. Oh, for more trust!

hola amigo, nose hablar ingles, pero traducí el tema y la verdad es que tambien me hago esa pregunta, porque los hombres mayores buscan a mujeres jovenes? opino que esos hombres no buscan a lo que Dios le envia si no que buscan lo que la carne quiere. por otro lado pienso que con una mujer joven pueden sentirse mas joven.
bueno cuidate amigo
Dios te bendiga.
chauuu

To further this topic, i'm going to be a little vulnerable here in just a bit.... Some of you know me, in a real-world sense; some will know me, a little better, here. There may be one here who is going to know me, in a sense beyond these mere words....
will i quiet my burgeon needs, try not assuage my hungry heart, not "toor" after novel enchantments...will i allow my disquiet spirit to quiet, long enough to hear what Abba has to say to me, who He has made, saved, and brought to me? I have more on this here later, and in my googleable notes in other places; you will have to search for or wait! More on that Search, or Wait, theme ;)
It is my prayer these words bring you to a better knowing of yourself, and to understanding others. Do you have ears, to hear? Eyes, to see? A heart of flesh, alive and raw, to feel? GOOD!
I imagine that Adam's first task, to "know" the animals, to "husband" the garden and all its inhabitants, to study and NAME THEM ALL according their characters...he had a sense of God from unspoken and unwritten source. From the handiwork of the Creator, Adam surely saw a Creator filled with limitless wonder, One who was pleased placing many surprises in all aspects of His Holy creation, revealing divine intent EVERYWHERE, exposing His own relentless purpose. The task of naming each animal was not a casual, and mindless thing. Adam, the scientist, studied, and named, ALL living things (by some estimates, as many as 100 MILLION different forms, although who is able to count them? This was a longitudinal task; one surely which continues today in the individuation of genetics and discovery, even today, of new life forms-will we do this for eternity? Can a curious mind as yours or mine even imagine such a cool thing?)
According to Gen 2:19 (And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] the name thereof.) It seems clear to me, for Adam to know the correct name (nomenclature is based on ATTRIBUTE, CHARACTERISTIC, IDENTITY, and less on role, degree, or function as the Western mind does). Adam, did well; each name he chose was the correct one for that living thing.
Gen 2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. This is a remarkable passage; ADAM saw the need for a MATE! Undoubtedly (in my admittedly limited purview) Adam saw "mothers and fathers" procreatively cleaving, mating (ostensibly, i believe) each specie for life; each living thing has a God-ordained "helper" (bad word; lexiconic shift aside, go to "Ezer Kenegdo", Heb.)
I imagine a conversation, when Adam first became sentient of his own need for a mate, he approached God, "Daddy, where is MY lover? I see the animals doing this incredible two-backed dance, which results in children; they leave their mother and father, and cling to their mate, and give forth young".
Note what GOD said prior to Adam's first task in (just ONE VERSE after the ONE PROHIBITION) Gen 2:18; "And Jehovah Elohim said, It is not good that Man should be alone; I will make him a helpmate, his like." GOD waited, for Adam to know his need...to see in His created animals and created order how things were to be....before asking him to....WAIT...Adam had apparently ALREADY SOUGHT... "for there was found NONE for him..."
Gen 2:23 And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman...
Adam, completing his task of naming...
gives his "Ezer Kenegdo" a name...he "knows" her....
BEFORE "KNOWING" her....
Note what he says next in v24 "therefore, i will LEAVE (mother and father)before i CLEAVE" to Eve.
Here is a divergent thought i have been intrigued by; will leave it for now except for the querious (so sue me; i can make up words, too lol) observation; what does Adam know about parents, if not from direct experiential observation in God's FIRST "word" , ie creation?
A healthy cleaving....is predicated on an appropriate leaving...this is a topic worthy of discourse. Many have never had the proper relationship with mother/father; if you don't HAVE a secure/healthy attachment with parent(s), you cannot detach. Seeking prior to detaching (which one cannot do unless one is properly attached) seemingly sets us up to pain and loneliness and woundings deep in our hearts.
And God....said...WAIT, Adam; understand your relationship to me, as My Beloved Son. Trust my provision, and the path through our garden which i have ordered for you. Take a nap; I'll wake you when all is ready.....trust Me.

Thank-you to Auroraleigh for the reply. Also to Orlando. I was not really expecting such a response. It is good. Both of you make really good points. Sometimes it is easy to become discouraged when things in life don't work out as planned. Or work as we think it should. However, the Lord always has something much better in mind. I love the verse "For I know plans I have for you...plans to give you hope and a future." Sometimes it is good to be reminded of how they are His and not ours.
