Please try to solve this simple little puzzle. This answer is one word, found only 4 times in the Bible.  Search hard and you are surely to find
much more than the word........
And when you find it you will say, "It's so simple........"

Adam, GOD made out of dust,
But thought it best to make me first.
So I was made before man,
To answer God's most holy plan.

A living being I became,
And Adam gave to me my name.
I from his presence then withdrew,
And more of Adam never knew.

I did my maker's law obey,
Now never went from it astray.
Thousands of miles I go in fear,
But seldom on earth appear.

For a purpose that GOD did see,
He put a living soul in me.
A soul from me GOD did claim,
And took the soul from me again.

So when from me the soul that fled,
I was the same as when first made.
And without hands or feet or soul,
I travel on from pole to pole.
