Lie #1: I am an afterthought

Biblestudy lesson one will deal with this insidious lie we sometimes believe. We feel the power of this lie when:

• we are passed over for a promotion at work
• our husband or children don't notice or appreciate all we're doing for them
• we're left out of a gathering of friends
• not invited to participate in a certain ministry
• single and lonely, wishing to be married
• married and lonely, wishing to be single
• our opinions are not respected like of those of others around us
• it seems like Adam was more important to God than Eve

Let me jump in right here and slam the lie while revealing the primary truth to be discovered in lesson one. You are not an afterthought! The truth is:

"You are a daughter of Eve, the crown of creation and an “ezer” – or a strong helper, warrior, and rescuer."

To find out more, be sure to read Genesis 1 and 2 and come to the study with your heart open to explore the liberating power of God's truth.

Two principles you'll get before we're done:

a) I'm fully made in God's image. (Genesis 1:26)

b) I am an ezer, not an afterthought.

"It is not good for man to be alone; I will make an EZER (Hebrew word) suitable for him." (Genesis 2:18)

The word powerful doesn't begin to describe how the truth of this lesson has changed my life, especially in the least few years. We simply can't wait to share it with all of you!
