• “But God is the God of the waves and the billows, and they are still His when they come over us; and again and again we have proved that the overwhelming thing does not overwhelm. Once more by His interposition deliverance came. We were cast down, but not destroyed.” – Amy Carmichael

Are You a Helper? by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 07/07/11

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: Do the men around you feel helped, or do they feel alone?

Genesis 2:18 tells us what God said right before creating the first woman: “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”

If you’re a woman listening today, are you fulfilling the role God’s given you as a helper? Here are some questions to help you evaluate.

  • Have you embraced your God-given design to be a helper?
  • Are you willing to sacrifice your own ambitions in order to help your husband?
  • Do you provide him with companionship?
  • Do you complement your husband or compete with him?
  • Perhaps you’re single. What kinds of words, actions, and attitudes would help the Christian men around you become all God wants them to be?
  • Are you promoting healthy, godly marriages in the ways you relate to other women’s husbands?

Lord, help us fulfill the purpose for which you created us. Amen.

With Seeking Him, Nancy Leigh DeMoss

  • “How different the world would look, how different the state of our nation would be, if there were more sanctified priestly souls! These are souls who have the power to bless, for they intercede with sanctified hearts. They never begin their daily time of intercessory prayer without having first brought to the cross all that is unholy in their lives, so that their old self can be crucified there with Jesus, the sacrificial Lamb.” – Basilea Schlink
