"Once more she conceived and bore a son, and she said, "This time I will give thanks to the LORD "; therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing children." Genesis 29:35
Jacob was to choose a wife from his mothers family and he choose Rachel. But on his wedding night Laban deceived him and gave him Leah, not his daughter Rachel. Jacob fought for Rachel and also married her that week. These people are part of Jesus's family for out of Judah comes Joesph, the husband of Mary. God choose Leah's lineage to be part of His family roots. All those lists of names carry meaning in the Bible, as you read these stories deliberately, the picture gets drawn. In Jesus's background there is deception in the family tree, God makes crooked paths straight. We do not have to have a perfect upbringing to be chosen by God. Give thanks for God Loves a sinner like me and you.
What is God saying to me: Walk
Dear Father, what a blessing when we have to dig for the understanding that You want to give in Your word. Your path for each of us is deliberate and You are making crooked lines straight. You are always faithful to us and there is blessings awaiting us when we are deliberate in our prayer life, even when nothing seems to be there. Prayers for this morning's men's group, prayers for the upcoming men's conference, may the Holy Spirit continue to guide each of us on our journeys. Blessings upon those doing Your will may they not concern themselves with the outcome, that is Yours. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
