Excerpt:
Because both the first woman and the first man disobeyed God’s earliest commandment, work became more difficult. Adam finds that his original work (gardening) is much harder, while Eve’s greatest difficulty is childbearing.
Nonetheless, God helps Eve with the work of parenting. Eve says about her firstborn, “I have produced a man with the help of the Lord.” It is only through God’s help that we can do any work, whether it’s parenting, ministry, or work in the marketplace. In Philippians 4, Paul writes to both men and women about their work together building the church in Philippi. He encourages these men and women, telling them that God will help them and meet all their needs.
