I'm Sooo Lonely!!!

"Lord, I need help to carry out your will. It is too big a task."

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. God, again shows His providential nature for His creation and gives us some more information about ourselves. Man was not meant to be alone nor was He meant to shoulder the workload of the tasks God had given him all by himself. So God decides to provide a helper for man.

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. God brought all living things namely of the field and the birds of the sky which He formed out of the ground to Adam to see what he would name them and what he called out became its name.

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.
"Son, that is a cat."
"Why daddy?"
"Because that is what Adam named it, son."

Notice here that even though there were dogs and parrots, cats and canaries, and horses etc. not one was a suitable companion for Adam nor indeed a suitable helper.

Christian, So, what you are saying is that even though a pet may be a loving companion, it is not 'the companion' that Adam needed, nor that God intended?

Dear Deboraw,

Indeed.
