Mini Lesson # 14

Wrapping It All Up! 

Look at Genesis 49: 30-31.  What do these Scriptures tell us about

Leah?

Jacob came between these two sisters and was the cause of much 

anguish on both girls' parts.   Can't you see Leah and Rachel as 

sisters growing up all through their childhood laughing and playing

with each other?  In your opinion, what could have prevented the

breakdown of their relationship?

Leah lived a full and wealthy life.  She more than likely had 

everything money could buy except the one thing she wanted most,

her husband's love.  It wasn't until after Leah's death that her 

importance in God's plan became obvious.  She was not only the 

mother of part of the 12 tribes of Israel but it was also one of her

sons who was chosen to be in Christ's lineage.

God knew the plans He had for Leah, just as He knows the plans He has for each of us.  God was involved in Leah's life, even though to the casual observer it appeared He wasn't, just as He’s involved in ours today whether we realize it or not.

Thank you Father for being there especially during the times when circumstances make it appear you're not.

Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have, for He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you.  Hebrews 13:5

 This is the final installment in this series of lessons on Leah.  I hope you have enjoyed these lessons.
