Captivating - Chapter 2, Created Eve
>> Wednesday, April 1, 2009
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"?

I don't think I've ever thought of women being created as an afterthought but I know I've felt like an afterthought before. To be the crescendo of creation, the crown of creation is something pretty incredible. It really makes you stop and see just how special God thinks we are and how much thought he put into creating us.
