Topic: Companion For The Lonely
Text: Genesis 2:18-24
18And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
20And 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.
21And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Key Verse: “And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.” Genesis 2:18
Message
On the sixth day of creation, God decided it would be good for Adam to have a companion and helper. There was no suitable companion among the animals. God then caused Adam to fall deeply asleep. The Lord took one of Adam’s ribs and used it to form Eve. When Adam woke up from his deep sleep, he couldn’t believe his eyes. He said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh.” Now Adam had a companion – a very special person whom he could talk with and be with all day long.

If you have ever been lonely, you will know what Adam must have felt like before God made Eve to be his friend and wife. Our experience in life often brings changes. You may have recently moved to another town, started in a new school, or moved to a class without your best friends. It is often a time of loneliness; a time of being afraid and unsure of what to expect. Remember that God will always be there for you. He will never leave your side! Although you cannot see God, you can talk to Him just like Adam did.
If you long to have a special friend, ask God to help you meet someone who is Godfearing and a lover of the word of God. God knows and understands when you are lonely because He made you to need a friend, and to be a friend to others.

Prayer for today: Lord, send a God-fearing and loyal friend to me.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
