Leah's dilemma was not unlike what each of
us must face somewhere along life’s journey. Leah was married to Jacob, who
didn’t love her, and it seemed that no matter how she tried, his affection belonged
to Rachel, the wife he loved. God was aware of her unhappiness, so he gave her
children to nurture and love.
While your situation may
not be identical to Leah's, your resulting sorrow and pain can be similar. The
resounding message that rings loud and clear is that God sees, he hears, he
knows your situation whatever it may be. He will send help when there is a
commitment to stand firm, to do what is humanly possible to make things better.
Doing what is required, although difficult or even
unpleasant, will ultimately bring its rewards. You may be struggling in such a desperate
situation and it may seem too difficult to endure, but reconsider. Ask the Lord
God to send help. Be flexible and willing to try a new approach. God listens.
He hears, and he provides answers.
