LEARN FROM RACHEL

Rachel, the beloved wife of Jacob. Though Jacob adored her—working seven years for her hand felt like "but a few days"—her life was marked by trials.

First, her father tricked Jacob into marrying her sister, Leah. Worse, Rachel was infertile while Leah bore many children. This agony led to her desperate cry, "Give me children, or I shall die!" Quite dramatic, Rachel, but we hear you!

Rachel's story reminds us that even when favoured, we face profound, unmet needs. After years, "God remembered Rachel; he listened to her and enabled her to conceive". God sees our urgent prayers and never forgets us. Rachel finally bore Joseph and Benjamin, who became foundational figures. Her barrenness was a painful path that ultimately secured a major blessing for her entire family.

We can trust that the Lord remembers us. He uses our desperation to draw us closer, often fulfilling our deepest longings with a purpose far greater than we could imagine. Are you feeling like there is a delay in your life, yet you know God has spoken? Learn from Rachel- God never forgets.
