Bible Commentary

Genesis 2:18

For the first time in creation, God said something was 'not good' — and it was loneliness. God designed us for relationship. We are not meant to walk through life alone.

Memory phrase: God made us for friendship.

Talk about it: Who are the people God has given you?

Prayer: God, thank You for giving me people to be with. Help me be a good friend.
