Keepers at Home

Genesis 2:18 says, " It is not good that man should be alone. I will make him an HelpMeet for him."

An HelpMeet? Not a partner in the work place, not a comrade in the world? An HelpMeet? We were meant, created by God in the beginning, to be helpmeets? We are not to be the provider, we provide our men with the comfort and sustainment, they need, after fighting in the world, to provide for us. We are not out working in a job, so that we can get finer things, that our husbands or Dads cannot provide us with. Maybe we were not meant to have those things?! And instead of being gone when he comes home, you are setting the table for dinner, the children are happily playing or doing their chores, all have smiles on their faces, because Mom or Big Sister were home, making sure that they grow up strong, to fight the foes of this world, like Daddy does. We can be business women, but from our home. My Mom is the manager of our homebusiness, yet she manages her home, too. She also helps my Dad with his hopes and dreams. She is a domestic Entrepenuer! And quite an inspiration for me. Proverbs 31:10 says, " Who can find a virtuous woman? For her worth is far above rubies? I don't know about you, but I would like to be just that!

Titus 2 says, "That the older women teach the younger women, to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be descreet, chaste, good, keepers at home, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed."Why are they then telling them, to go to college, and get a carreer? Is a keeper at home not good enough? Why are they not following the instructions of Paul? Please answer me that? Is it because we have forgotten our true purpose and the reason for our existance, and we try to measure up to the equality of men? We are to be the weaker vessels! Yes, I know, that men are not men anymore. But you are not helping any. Let the company fall if it has to, for the man to see that you are no longer in charge. To me, sober means, responcible. And then to love their husbands. That is clear, and to love their children, no question about that. To be discreet. Now that is a tough one. What is discreet? It is to be quiet, to be shy, and to let the men be the talkers, and the movers. Chaste, hmm? I think that means, to stand back, and let the man be the leader, and to not draw attention to yourself. My job as a daughter of the King, is to be at home, and serve my family. 1 Peter 2:9 says, " For ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light: which in times past were not a people, but are now the People of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy." That verse sounds of sweet music to my ear. And there is another verse in Psalms saying, The kings daughter is all glorious within the palace.Psalms 45:13." I would love to be all glorious. This is not an earthly pride, but that of shewing my King's glory. I purposed from then and there, to start thinking of my life, as very valuable and instrumental in getting fellow princesses back on the road to pleasing and helping my King.
There is a saying, Behind every great man, is a great woman." That is so true. But notice, is says behind every great man, is a great woman. Not in front of him. Good, means to be good. You make your own definition of that one. Keepers at home, now that is a tough one. Most often, the women say, " Oh, I am a keeper at home. I cook, clean, and raise my children. But it is more then just that. If the woman says she's a keeper at home, and yet, spends most of her time, on the road, or in town shopping, then she is not a keeper at home. She is a gadabout. A keeper at home, keeps at home, or stays at home. If she does need to go somewhere, for groceries or clothes, then she must conclude her business as quickly as possible, and get right back home. You have a man to care for. Do not waste your time talking with friends, and neglecting your family. Obedient to their own husbands. Yes, it means in everything. I do not mean, when you feel like it, or if it suits your purpose. EVERYTHING! Including if he says, " I don't want to go to church no more." You and the children stay at home, and be a good wife. God honors an obedient wife rather then a disrespectful worshipper.We do not want to be blasphemers of the Word of God. He says, THe husbands will be won by the conduct of the wives.This applies to the daughters as well. If your Dad says, " I do not want you to go to see that movie, it could be harmful to your soul." Do you say, " Well, I am an adult now. I can handle anything. He cannot tell me what to do, anymore." He is your protector, while you remain unmarried, and he wants your soul to be secure and sweet, until the day you give yourself to the man of your dreams. I have fallen short of this so often. I am human too. But that is no excuse. Or if he says, " Go change. You look like a harlot." Do not argue with him. Think about it, what he may be saying is true. He is just protecting you, shielding you from unfriendly eyes. Too many girls have been very badly hurt, and you know why, because they didn't listen to the warnings of their fathers, when they told them to change. So, please, listen to the words of a caring Princess, and listen to your men!
