"Captivating" Chapter 2, What Eve Alone Can Tell
If you read the story of creation, you will see that afterAdam was created, God wanted to bring him a "helpmate". God said that it was not good for man to be alone and brings him all of the animals that had been created to be named, but no suitable helper was found. Eldredge points out that Eve was His final creation, "She is the crescendo, the final, astonishing work of God. Woman. In one last flourih creation comes to a finish not with Adam, but with Eve. She is the Master's finishing touch. Eve is....breathtaking. Woman was not created as an afterthought, but as the pinnacle of creation."Have you thought of the creation of woman up until this point as an afterthought or as something more? What do you feel in your heart when you hear "crown of creation"?

ReplyDeleteThanks for fixing the blog so I could post.
I have heard all kinds of arguments and ugly comments along the lines of the whole Adam versus Eve thing....but in my heart I have always felt that woman was way more special in the eyes of God than many give credit for. Not sure if this is coming across right but anyway - this section about Eve being the pinnacle of creation is powerful and a reminder that God is totally intentional in all that He does though we may not realize it or admit it.
