Life
does not always deal us an easy or fair hand. There are situations where we
must learn to cope and make the most of what we have. In God’s Word we’re given
the story of Jacob, who married two sisters - not because he chose to do so,
but because to have Rachel, the one he loved, Leah her older sister came as
part of the package.
Jacob,
Leah and Rachel had separate negative perceptions about this arrangement but
were forced to adjust to what seemed like an impossible situation. For Jacob,
it would be keeping peace between the sisters. To accomplish this task, he
would be put continuously in the position of doing whatever it took to please
them.
Leah
and Rachel’s assignment included managing a situation where there was no
legitimate or acceptable way to escape. Life is not fair, and God does not
promise us a rose garden. To manage unfortunate hardships, it’s crucial to
see them as God's purpose for us and view them as opportunities to change and
grow. You can do that.
