Adam's Rib

Hey, happy Friday! Okay, I was talking with friends. We were talking about the relationship between a husband and wife. One person’s opinion was that when God took Adam’s rib it weakened him, and man lost some of his strength. Her reasoning was because they fail to live up to the standards God set for man in the home as the head of the house. She pointed out that men tend to disregard everything the wife does for the home and freely surrenders the responsibilities to her with very little concern or assistance. I disagreed. I did not disagree that it is very much true in many cases. I disagreed that man became weak when God created woman from Adam’s rib. I did some thinking , firstly, there is nothing new under the sun. Just as sure as He knew me before I was conceived in my mother’s womb, He also knew Adam and Eve. I often say, there is a beginning before Genesis (1st Book in the Bible) and an after, after Revelations (last Book in the Bible). You’ll have to get to heaven to find out if there is. Secondly, the gifts of God are without sorrow. Eve was a gift for Adam and she was created without sin. Sin entered in after she bit the apple. Thirdly, a man cannot rule his home if God is not the head of his life. Our inability to be effective in certain areas in our lives is largely due to the matters of our heart, our social, economical and emotional state of mind (this is not Psychology; it is “Kimchology”). Basically, just as the word says “for as he thinks in his heart, so is he”. Even before we began to travel through our mother’s womb we were already destined to fail in some areas and face adversity due to generational curses and we spend a lifetime trying to overcome them. It is the failures and adversities that make us and break us. I think to imply Adam was weakened during surgery because his rib was removed, leaves a door wide open to somehow suggest God created the problem of mans (some men) failures and I don't believe that. I believe Adam’s rib is symbolic to say, appreciate her, nurture her, consider her and keep her well just as you take care your very own body. Don’t get it twisted, this is spiritual not domestic chores. A man should appreciate a woman who adds to and increases him and keeps his home peaceful and because of that appreciation, he should honor her everyday his eyes are able to look upon her! That is my two cents and it aint that serious, we are very much still good friends. Smooches!
