No one asked her if she wanted to be born.
No one asked if she was going to be able to pay her way through life. That had already been considered. Just as the first man was chosen and created, so was she.
Jehovah knew the needs of the first one He created. He met each one of them before He brought him to life, and then He taught him how to live on the land: in perfect communion with Himself.
Generations later, she stood on the same earth, breathing the breath of the same God. She knew the footprints she left would be as different from the first man's as the impressions on her fingertips. But what they would share would be an incredible neediness and a brutal dependency for survival.
The One they knew as Mighty and Powerful, they would first learn to call Jehovah Jireh, Provider Who will never fail.
Is He not the same yesterday, today, and forever?
Is His word not the truth and His promise that which remains?
God is not a man, that He should lie,
nor a son of man, that He should repent.
Has He said, and will He not do?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
Numbers 23:19
