Episode 282: Do you feel castigated for someone else’s wrong doing?

I am going through the story of Jacob lately and one of the parts that caught my attention was the story of Jacob and Laban’s daughter - Rachel and Leah. Jacob was shortchanged on his wedding night by Laban. He was given a wrong bride instead of Racheal whom he had laboured for, for seven years. Why did Laban do this? Laban mentioned that their culture did not permit younger ones to marry before their older siblings- interesting right? Why didn’t he inform Jacob? Story did another time. Eventually, Jacob was allowed to marry Racheal as well however, he loved Racheal more than Leah. Are you in is circumstances where you feel rejected? Or do you feel castigated because of someone else’s wrong doing just like in the case of Leah? Just want to let you know or remind you that God sees you. He feels what you are feeling. I just want to point you back to the word of God. God sees you. God loves you. Gen 29:31 says “When the Lord saw that Leah was unloved, He opened her womb;…….” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭29:31‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Whatever or whoever may be your cause of feelings of pain, castigation, suffering, unfairness. God loves you. He sees you. He is turning things around for your good and victory. Let go and let God fight your battle. Rest in God Rest in His Word. Remember that just as God opened Leah’s womb and made her fruitful, He will open all that needs to be open, all for your favour in Jesus’ name. Amen
