Genesis 2:18-25 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.… I. The Creator's care of man, and His fatherly concern for his comfort. 1. God's pity for his solitude. 2. His resolve to provide society for him. II. The creatures' subjection to man, and his dominion over them. God brought the animals to Adam that he might name them, and so give a proof of — 1. His knowledge. 2. His power. III. The creatures' insufficiency to be a happiness for man. Observe — 1. The dignity and excellency of human nature. 2. The vanity of the things of this world. ( M. Henry, D. D..)
