Psalms 54:4 (HCSB)
I have taught as a Pastor and have heard others teach that a wife is to be the "helpmate" of her husband. Some have taken that as a put down. They consider the title of helpmate to acknowledge a second rate, second class position is society or in their marriage. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact in the Scriptures like here in Psalm 54 God is given the exact same title or position.
The Psalmist says, "God is my helper;" Now would we ever claim that God is second rate or second class to us? Absolutely not! God is the sustainer of our lives. We could not survive or thrive without Him. He is absolutely essential to our lives.
Ladies next time some says you are a helpmate say thank you! What a compliment that should be. And never forget that as a Christ Follower we need our primary Helpmate. Without God we could not survive or thrive in this life.
