Surviving Leah: When Giving Up Isn't an Option

Have you ever experienced unexplainable moments of worry or frustration that suddenly appear out of nowhere? The moments that leave you feeling all alone with nothing but pain and agony to keep you company. These times of weariness can leave you questioning more than just your decisions but will also have you doubting if relief is ever coming.

Our attention can be focused on the pain instead of what the pain is producing. We are usually more aware and respond to the hurt and fail to acknowledge the blessing born in these difficult moments.

Leah, the wife of Jacob in the Old Testament, is arguably the most powerful yet overlooked person in the Bible. She was the one that was despised and hated, even by her husband. Leah lived in a world where disappointment and pain followed her everywhere. However, it was in these moments that Leah birthed the very things that shifted and changed the foundation of the world.

God desires us to live a beautiful life, one resembling the life of Rachel, Leah's sister. However, He will introduce you to Leah seasons that bring weariness and frustration, where a spectacular purpose is waiting to be born.
