“And
the LORD God said, ‘It is not good that man should be alone’.” Gen. 1:18
The women’s lib movement has it all
wrong. God elevates women to a high plain. How high? Man could not get by
without them! Man wasn’t born to live in a cave by himself but to live in
community. God’s wonderful creation of all nature was not sufficient for man’s
needs. He needed a person comparable to him, to help him, come alongside him,
and be a partner with him. That is what God means when he says a “help meet”
for him. Man needed another person, not an animal. He needed one like himself
but different. One to help, but not act in the same way as man.
Throughout Scripture God gives great
recognition to women and their ministry to this world, the world he gave to
Adam and then said that Adam needed help taking care of it. Unlike other
religions who debase women and view them as property, God said women are of great
quality and value to man and to God.
Dear Father, Help us all to
understand the great value You have placed on women. Amen.
