The Helper I Love

Scripture: Genesis 2:18 The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”

Observation: When my ex-wife filed for divorce I thought for sure God wanted me to be alone to do some type of ministry focusing on His work. For the first time I was alone staying in a little apartment and not being very productive. Then God brought Teri into my life, the greatest blessing He has ever bestowed on me and he has given me many. She helped me see God’s vision for us more clearly and together we were whole.

Application: Each day I thank God for my wife and ask that I treat her the way He deserves me to treat her. I don’t ever want to take her for granted but realize she is truly a gift from God to help me get through this life in a way that would honor Him. As she is my helper I’m also hers and I need to always be there for her.

Prayer: My Father I thank you for this precious gift of your daughter you have trusted me with. May I always treat with the love and care you call me to and that I will honor you by the husband I am for her.
