[A generous gift]
Genesis 29:31, 30:14~24
When we open our eyes, we always have to choose whether it is secular or history of redemption. Abraham picked out Isaac, who was a mischievous man, not Ishmael, and Isaac chose not from a manly man, but money, a woman, a con man, and Jacob, a liar. Jacob chose Judah, who slept with his daughter-in-law, not Joseph. Through the collapse of the flesh, everyone repented that 'you are more righteous than me,' so I choose a child who met the Lord over a child who looked perfect in a worldly eye.
Last year I shared Sarahs redemption story, The Great Marriage, and today Ill follow that up with Leahs story, The Generous Gift.
First, you dont get a generous gift with a fundamental sense of inferiority.
Leahs meaning unloved is the original meaning of hate, hate, hate is here which means that Leah has been hated all the time. The fact that Jehovah 'seen' this means that Leah was loved by God because she was not loved by her husband. Leahs womb was opened, but Rachel was closed.
Leahs son, Leuven, comforts her by bringing a mixed bag to specifically express love for her unloved mother. Then Rahel asked for the mixed bag, which is an herbal medicine and fertility treatment. The Lord opened the kingdom of Leah, and Rachel did not believe in the Lord and asked for it, thinking that it was due to the visible bond. At this time, Leah confidently said that He was my husband for the first time. Leah, who would have been intimidated, became confident because her identity was established in front of God. Leah, who relies on Jehovah, gets more and more empowered, and Rachel, who speculates, begins to collapse. Rachel is fully loved by her husband, but she is desperate for a son without him. Leah gave Rachel the bond, and Leah trusted Jehovah without inferiority, so she was able to sleep with Jacob by faith. We have to live with the question of what other people see as that, the environment is hashy, but our faces shine with the love of words. As a result, Rachel was punished for demanding a combined bond, and she had to see Leah, whose production had stopped, give birth to three more children.
Second, you have to pray that God listens.
God heard Leahs prayer among the wishes of Rachel and Leah that she desperately wanted. God pitied Leah, who was unashamedly begging for her husbands love as a guide. Its not because Leah is pretty, its because of the order of family. God took pity on Leahs vulnerability, who risked shame for salvation, and chose Leahs ship for the blood of the sons. Rachel was greatly empowered and loved by her husband, and she was ungrateful. But Leah was a person who would be 'yes' to whatever orders she took, with the intention of risking any shame in order to save her spiritual successor. God listens to these prayers of Leah. Just as Leah confesses that her children are generous gifts and that her life is a generous gift from God without her husbands love, I hope we will make the same confession. When Leah gave birth to three sons and daughters, God thought of Rachel. Rachel was slow to respond because she believed in her husbands love, did not pray to God, speculated her sister, got angry with her husband, and resorted to human methods such as haptic bonds. I believe that God will wash and solve my shame if I acknowledge and reveal my shame.
Third, they are children of promise.
If you look at the birth background of 12 children, including Benjamin, Leah, who is not loved by her husband, Rahel, who is unable to have children amid speculation and competition, and children from the resurrection of concubines who have no right to escape from life and death are all descendants of the promise. It is a blessing to be in the midst of such a whirlwind of hardship. The environment of the vortex is the secret to the birth of spiritual life, so I hope you dont be surprised and think of it as something that should be done even in a terrible family l. Leah seems to have lived a life of sadness, but she always lives a life of praise, union, and joyous and generous gifts, and at the end she receives a gift buried in the land of promise. However, Rachel died while giving birth to a baby and was buried on the side of the road. Rahel lived in hell, saying, 'Even after giving birth to a good husband and a great child, Joseph, I always competed with my brother and won. Its unfair.' Leah, who protected her family, was blessed by thousands.
All the great sons are in the midst of Leahs resurrection. Judah is the ancestor of Jesus Christ Moses is the resurrection of Leah. Therefore, we must die to keep with the family register. You should never get divorced. Even psychopaths and psychopaths have to live in any case. Keeping a marriage is always the biggest secret to seeing my sins. I believe that God will give everything to those who know their sins and admit their weaknesses, like Leah.
This is a testimony from a high school senior after this Korean SAT. I attended the church from Mokpo to Pangyo chapel which takes at least four hours by a car for eight years with my mothers upbringing since I was in the fourth grade of elementary school. I often couldnt understand why the pastor told me not to get divorced every day when I saw my father fighting with my mother a lot when he drank. But my mom and aunt told me to do QT whenever something happened, so I endured the difficult entrance exam by doing QT like a habit. However, when I heard the good news of accepting into the college, I was more repentant than grateful. And I remembered my pretentious look at God only when I was having a hard time, and I seemed to blame the environment and put it on him because I was so vulnerable that I was afraid of blaming God, so I repented. On the eve of the Korean SAT, QT said that Slobhots daughters kept the words given by God and did it according to Jehovahs orders, but I confessed that I would not stay in the land of college entrance, but I would protect the company he gave and fulfill his mission.
A husband drank a lot and lost his job, but his wife didnt throw it away, and I kept the family by attending to church together, and little girl got this testimony. We believe that our harsh conditions are a generous gift from God.
