CHOOSING RACHEL,BUT WAKING UP WITH LEAH GEN 29:15-28 GEN 27:1-46 LIFE DOES NOT ALWAYS TURN OUT THE WAY WE PLAN IT.WE ARE SOME TIMES SURPRISED BY THE UNEXPECTED OR DEVASTATED BY THE UNWANTED. THIS WORLD IS NOT WHAT YOU SEE THAT YOU GET. IF WE ASK QUESTION,WE DONT TRUST TO GET HONEST ANWERS; IF WE WORK,WE DONT ALWAYS EXPECT A FAIR WAGE FOR A DAYS WORK. MOST TIMES, WE DONT GET WHAT WE DESIRE OR EXPECT IF WE HAVE DONE THE RIGHT THING . NOBODY WANT SURPRISES OR HIDDEN AGENDA. WE PREFER THE STABILITY, ORDER PREDICTABILITY AND CONTROL THAT WE WANT TO SEE. BUT THE PROBLEM IS, THE WORLD DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY. IN OUR REFLECTION TODAY, JACOB EXPECTED TO GET RACHEL BUT HE GOT LEAH. ISAAC WANTED TO BLESS ESAU BUT HE ENDED UP BLESSING JACOB THE PROBLEM IS THAT MOST PEOPLE HAVE THEIR INTEREST AND HIDDEN AGENDA. REBECA AND LABAN HAD HIDDEN AGENDA AND THAT PLAYED OUT AT THE END. THE GOOD PART OF THE STORY IS THAT JACOB DID NOT STOP AT LEAH BUT CONTINUE UNTIL HE GOT RACHEL THE ONE HE LOVED. SO ALSO,ESAU STILL ASKED HIS FATHER TO BLESS HIM. AS WE GO THROUGH LIFE, DO NOT ALWAYS EXPECT TO GET WHAT YOU WANT OR TRUST PEOPLE TO ALWAYS GIVE YOU A FAIR WAGE. BUT BE DETERMINED TO GET IT ALL THE SAME. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE CASE OF DAVID BUT FOR THE INTERVENTION OF GOD IN 1SAM16:7-13 PRAYER POINT 1 MAY MY CROWN NOT FIT ANOTHER. 2 MAY MY REWARD NOT BE GIVEN TO ANOTHER. MAY GOD STRENGTHEN YOU TO GET TO THE END OF YOUR DESIRE DESPITE PEOPLE WHO HAVE HIDDEN AGENDA AND PERSONAL INTEREST THROUGH CHRIST OUR LORD.
