Good Morning!
A few more clouds in the sky this morning, but there is still no rain in the forecast. We do need rain! It is one of my daily prayer requests!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Genesis 31:1-37 ~ Rachel shows a bad side. She stole & lied - it almost cost her life (32). Godly women can do wrong when they don't do things God's way.
God had definitely blessed Jacob with children and also with possessions. It was time for him to return to his country. When he told Rachel and Leah that they were leaving, they asked about inheritance. Do you think that is why Rachel took the stuff she did? Why would she take the (gods) idols? Did she not believe completely in the One True God, the God of Jacob, the God that had given them everything they needed?
It was bad enough that she stole, but then she lied too. Do you think she told Jacob of the theft and lie after her father left? Do you think she might have given them back without Laban knowing?
Things don't go well and sometimes very wrong if we step out of God's ways. God has our very best interest in mind and will lead and guide each step of the way. Trust Him! He is always with us - Emanuel!
Have a great day!
