One Another

Encourage each other in the Lord
Create time to check on an absentee
Pray and comfort the hurting
Reach out and gift a needy…
 
Rachael desperately wanted children
She may have prayed and waited for it
She has seen Leah birth multiple times
She desired hers also
 
Frantically she cried out to Jacob
Give me children or I die
Jacobs’s response was unlike his father Isaac
Who brought his wife’s case before the Lord
 
When Isaac prayed to God for Rebekah…
The Lord answered and gave them twins
Jacob could easily have done same for wife Rachel
Rather he angrily lashed out at her
 
Sometimes all we need is a comforting shoulder...
An understanding hear to listen...
A partner to pray in times of despair...
A voice to encourage when in doubt
 
Everyone seems to be consumed with issues
A phone call, text or kind compliment 
This can make a world of difference
Rachael may be wrong in seeking her husband for child
 
Jacobs’s reaction only aided her next move
She will introduce her servant to her hubby
So she can be a parent via Bilhah
A kind word would have sufficed…

A soft answer turns away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger Prov 25:15   ...tejuwrite...
