Today’s Reading:
Genesis 29:31-35
“And when the Lord saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.” (Genesis 29:31)
God’s account of the events in Genesis indicate that God is the author and giver of life. HE is the one who opens and closes the womb. God is the one who grants life to every child and who keeps children from being conceived.
Every child who is conceived is thus a gift from God. Every child who is conceived has a purpose from God. Leah’s joy and heartbreak is described in Genesis 29:31-35. Tricked into marrying Leah, Jacob’s heart was never with her. He loved Rachel more; in fact, it would be fair to say he never loved Leah at all.
When the Lord saw that Leah was not loved, HE enabled her to conceive, but Rachel remained childless. But Racheal continued to pray and God thought of her and opened her womb so that she would conceive.

Prayer:
Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song. Sing His praises in the assembly of the faithful.
Praise His name with dancing, accompanied by tambourine and harp.
For the Lord delights in His people; He crowns the humble with victory.
Almighty God, you are the miracle maker, do a miracle in my life today in Jesus name.
Father Lord turn what the devil has tagged impossible in my life to possibility in Jesus name.
Thank You, Lord, for your plans for me, for I know they are for my good in Jesus name.
