Genesis 30-31 Matthew 15-

Genesis 30-31

There’s so much we can learn from Rachel. We need to not be jealous of others! Jacob responded correctly to Rachel’s dismay. He knew that it’s God was keeping her from getting pregnant.

These ladies fought! They quarreled over their spouse, they competed for attention and children. Both women did consent to leaving when Jacob said that God had commanded them to return to Jacob’s native land. Their response was “do whatever God has told you.” (vs 16)

Jacob finally left Laban, telling his wives that he’s “cheated” him! (vs 7). Jacob served Laban faithfully for 20 years! He endured hardships and loss but still served despite his circumstance.

Matthew 15-
We need to watch the words that we say. vs 18 “things that come out of the mouth come from the heart.” Evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.

Why did Jesus tell the Canaanite woman that He was only sent to the lost sheep of Israel? (vs 24)

Again, after Jesus had given thanks, God took 7 loaves and some fish and fed all the people!
