Created to be His Help Meet ~ 12

Chapter 12 ~ By Divine Appointment

  • But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the mead of Christ is God ~ I Corinthians 11:3
  • For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body ~ Ephesians 5:23
  • Don't worry about the quality of his leadership, for he is under the oversight of Jesus Christ. He must answer to God for how he leads his "troops." You must answer to God for how you obey the one he placed over you. It takes faith in God to trust him when all you seem to see is one carnal man leading you.
  • Your husband is your knight in God's protective armor. Even if his armor appears a bit rusty and dull, it is still the armor of God, your safe covering in everything.

Time to Consider

  • Traits of a Good Help Meet: She fears God. She believes God's Word as it is written. She considers her position as a help meet a privileged command.
  • Write three new things that you will add to your life that will cause you to become more precious to your husband.
  • List three things that you can do that will be a help to him.
  • Write down three things you can do that will be an encouragement to him.
  • Jot down three things about your appearance that you can change which he is sure to like.
  • List three things that you can do to your house that will please him.
  • White three things you can do (for example, intimate time together) that will make him feel like he is THE MAN.
  • Plan three ways you can respond to hm in front of others that will show a heart of respect and honor toward him.
