Tamar - When Life Feels Unfair Part 2

Tamar’s life in Genesis 38 is one of the messiest and most unexpected stories in the Bible. It is a story filled with pain, betrayal, desperation, and scandal. Yet through it all, one truth rises above everything else: God’s mercy is always there.Wronged by her husbands, abandoned by Judah, and left without hope, Tamar takes matters into her own hands (Genesis 38:11–19). Her decisions were far from perfect, but even in her problems, her ploy, and the proof of Judah’s hypocrisy (Genesis 38:24–26), God’s mercy was still moving.
