Is There A “Right” Time To Be Passive?
Here we are addressing whether or not there is a ‘right time’ to be passive as a man/husband? Many times we often hear men say they are not passive, but just do things in their own time. We want to talk about that and what that means and how it affects a man’s life and family not to do things in their own time.

Created To Be An Ezer: “The Help Meet Dilemma”
And the LORD God said,
It is not good that the man should be alone;
I will make him a help meet…-Genesis 2:18
It is not good that the man should be alone;
I will make him a help meet…-Genesis 2:18
My Oh My. How things can get lost in translation. I am not sure if you can relate, but in the past, whenever I have heard the words help meet, I always felt so secondary. Like God’s afterthought.
“Is that all I am,” I wondered, “Someone’s help meet? And what in the world is a help meet anyways? “But, to an all-knowing God, there is no such thing as an afterthought. He knew as He formed Adam with His hands, that He was hiding the beauty and strength of Eve deep inside of Him. And that He would only reveal after He made a very important point-That a world without woman is a world that is “not good. “ The Purpose of A Woman God said, “I will make him a(n) ezer” (Genesis 2:18).
“Is that all I am,” I wondered, “Someone’s help meet? And what in the world is a help meet anyways? “But, to an all-knowing God, there is no such thing as an afterthought.

And that He would only reveal after He made a very important point-That a world without woman is a world that is “not good. “ The Purpose of A Woman God said, “I will make him a(n) ezer” (Genesis 2:18).
Now, you will have to forgive me. I usually try not to get in to very minute details. But when we are talking about why God created you, I think it is more than necessary to be thorough.
So, here goes a quick lesson in Hebrew (-: First off, the Hebrew language is very different from English. A single word in the English language could represent several different words in the Hebrew language. Each individual Hebrew word would have a more in-depth meaning than it’s English counterpart.
There are different Hebrew words that we translate as help. The Hebrew term “ezer” is actually based on an ancient word “azar.” The Strongs Hebrew dictionary translates it as “to surround, i.e. protect or aid:–help, succour.
“I personally had to look up the word succour. It means to be the one who gives help in a time of great difficulty. If we look in the Bible for other instances when we see ezer used instead of other words that mean help, we see something very interesting. It was usually used by believers who were in grave danger! They needed a special kind of help. They needed to be surrounded with protection. They needed the One who gives help in a time of great danger.
They needed an ezer! Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help [is] in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.-Psalm 124:7,8
* * * * * *
Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD:
He is their help and their shield.-Psalm 115:11
* * * * * *
And my personal favorite:
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. -Psalms 121:1 and 2
* * * * * *

And my personal favorite:

After looking at those scriptures, and many others using the word, I think that the usual translation of ezer as “help meet” does not quite capture the true meaning of the word. What do you think?

“The Priority Of Marriage”
The truth about marriage is rather clear. However, man has often blurred the truth by his doctrines.
God is the author of marriage (a couple joined for life in a special spiritual and physical relationship). God said, “it is not good that the man should be alone…” (Gen. 2: 18). It is a common fact that man is a social being. His life is enhanced and increased by having a proper companion. God then said, “…I will make an help meet for him.” The Hebrew word translated “help meet” suggests a counter-part. Some versions have the footnote, “helper comparable to him.”
God made woman for man. It has been remarked that God made Eve, not Steve for Adam. The woman was created for man! (Gen. 2: 18-22, 23). The apostle Paul later wrote, “Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man” (I Cor. 11: 9). “…Man is not of the woman,” he further argues to illustrate man’s headship, “but the woman of the man” (vs. 8). Man is in “the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man” (vs. 7). Since God made woman for man, she is ideally suited both emotionally, anatomically, and psychologically to meet the needs of man – all so-called women’s movements to the contrary notwithstanding.
