Created to be His Help Meet ~ 9

Chapter 9 ~ Finding Your Life in His

• From the beginning, God meant for us to be a comfort, a blessing, a reward, a friend, and encouragement, and a right-hand wo-man.
• God didn't create Adam and Eve at the same time and tell them to work out some compromise on how they would each achieve their personal goals in a cooperative endeavor. He created Adam, gave him an occupation, appointed him as ruler of the planet, endowed him with a spiritual outlook, gave him commands, and specified his occupational duties. Adam commenced hi rule of the planet before God created Eve to help him in his life's goals. Adam didn't need to get Eve's consent. God gave her to Adam to be HIS helper, not his partner. She was designed to serve, not to be served, to assist, not to veto his decisions.
• Find your life in his.
• God made us women to be help meets, and it is in our physical nature to be so. It is our spiritual calling and God's perfect will for us. It is the role in which we will succeed in life, and it is where we will find our very greatest fulfillment as a woman and as a saint of God. God said in Genesis, "I will make him an help meet for him." Paul said, "For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man" (I Corinthians 11:8-9). "Unto the woman he said... and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee" (Genesis 3:16)
• Life is full of choices. How you choose to respond will help decide your fate in life. Life is now.
• Someday people will say to you, "Your personality is just a happy type, and that is why you enjoy life. Isn't that right?" You can laugh and know that being in God's will is the only thing that makes you full of joy. God is not looking for happy women to make them into help meets for good men. He is looking for women willing to be true help meets to the men to whom they are married, so He can fill them full of joy.
• God says so clearly and emphatically that, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men [and women] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him" (James 1:5). Ask God to help you know and appreciate your man.
