"While You Were Sleeping"

Scripture 
Genesis 2:21-22  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 then closed it up with flesh.  Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib He had taken out of the man, and He brought her to the man.  

Observation
The Lord performs the first known surgery on man.  He sedates him and takes a rib from his side and closes it up with flesh.  God made a woman from the man's rib and when He finished, He brought her to the the man.  They were united and the "two became one flesh."

Application
While sleeping, God performs the miraculous in man.  He creates a woman - a helper, a companion, a friend, a wife and lover for the man who will no longer be alone.  God is able to do the most amazing things when our hands are not in the mix of the things.  While he was sleeping, God gave such a wonderful gift to man.  God, Creator, Life-Giver, maker of heaven and earth does all things well.

Prayer
Father, how small minded I am.  You were, You are, You ever will be!  You spoke Your word and the earth was formed.  While I sleep, while I rest and trust in Your unfailing love, You do great and mighty things that I do not know.  You are my God and I trust in You and believe in You for the miraculous.   
In Jesus Name, A-men.
