This is all taken from an article written by Wendy Alsup, which can be found on the Resurgence website.

She writes about what the ideal woman should look like if we are pursuing Our Father’s definition of what a “helper” truly is. She pushes into our Biblical definitions, and encourages us to analyze if we are pursuing them (or even ignoring them).

A woman of God is blessed with the extremely important role of faithfulness, loyalty, support, and intimacy with those that are in her life as leaders, most of all her husband.

So let’s consider God’s example on this issue of Help. Do you see yourself exhibiting God’s characteristics or the contrasting ones? In Exodus 18:4, God our help defends (in contrast to attacking or ignoring the fight altogether). In Psalm 10:14 God our help sees and cares for the oppressed (rather than being indifferent and unconcerned). In Psalm 20:2 and 33:20, God our Help supports, shields and protects (rather than leaving unprotected and defenseless). In Psalms 70:5, God our Help delivers from distress (rather than causing distress). In Psalm 72:12-14, God our Help rescues the poor, weak, and needy (rather than ignoring the poor and needy). And in Psalm 86:17, God our Help comforts (rather than causing discomfort or avoiding altogether). God’s example reveals a high and worthy calling for women as helpers suitable to their male counterparts. We are called to show compassion, to support, defend and protect those in our care, to deliver from distress and to comfort. We are called to be conduits of God’s grace in our families and churches. We are called to be like God Himself – see Matthew 10:25 (KJV):
