Assignment Week 1 Daughters of the Eternal Father Day 1 Before we began... read Genesis 2:15-26 God gives us a picture of the father and daughter relationship. First: the creating and character of Eve Second: the protection and purpose of Eve Third: the guarding and giving of Eve. Beginning with the creating and character of Eve: In Genesis 2:21-22b "So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man. We observe that God created Eve from the rib of man, not from the dust of the ground. She was created to help, to serve, and to be the one to solve the problem of loneliness in her man. Her character at that time was just like her Father's so in turn Adam had the perfect wife." The protection and purpose of Eve: God (her father) protected her by first "checking out Adam" making sure he was ready to receive Eve. Eve's purpose was to solve a God identified problem, which was man's loneliness and to help replenish and subdue the earth. The guarding and giving of Eve: How did God guard Eve? By grooming Adam to be ready to receive Eve. God didn't let Adam give his heart away to several women before he found the right one, God instead gave Eve to Adam. That is a perfect picture of a Father /Daughter relationship. Do you want to experience this in your life? In this study we will learn the biblical model of the father/daughter relationship. We will explore and restore the relationship by applying God's word and seeing it manifested in your relationship with your father. So your first assignment is... Read So Much More: Chapter One and Appendix A; then come back and answer the following question. Who should read the Book?
