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.
