Gen 42: Chapter 29
Book of Genesis #42
Jacob is given Leah in marriage when his eyes were for Rachel.
Jacob loved Rachel but nowhere does Scripture says that she was meant for him according to God's plan.
So often we confuse what is lovely with what is lovable by us
A woman may be ravishing, immeasurably beautiful but if she is not the one that God has intended for me, she and I will be unhappy beyond measure.
Jacob was going to learn this lesson the hard way.
Do you have to?
Have you asked the Lord to show you whom he has in mind for you?
The Person he chose from before the foundation of the world for you?
Or will you follow the dictate of your eyes?
Listen to the tale of the two wives and learn from someone else's mistakes...
