Genesis 28:10–32:3

The Unexpected Blessing

Join is for our Shabbat Service with Jacob Lane with worship with Celso Ruiz and Heather Baker!

What does obedience look like? Obeying the Father never turns out the way we think it will. Jacob fell in love with Rachel because of her outward beauty, but perhaps Leah was actually the bride Yahweh chose for Jacob. After the deception of Laban, what if Jacob had stopped and said, “Ok Yahweh, you sent me here to get a wife, now I have one, is this what YOU intended?” When we assume we know what the Father is doing, determine what obedience looks like to us, and fix something so rigidly in our minds thinking, “This is the only way my obedience will work out…” We can miss His will and wander around the wilderness for a while. Especially if you have a “mission” - a thing you heard from Him. Something you have been praying for or waiting on and you have it all mapped out in your mind - this is how it will look… don’t be surprised when you see Le’ah and not Rachel. It never turns out how we thought, but it always turns out how He said it would.
