Leah’s Praise - Genesis 29:31-35
Jacob’s Children
31 When the Lord saw that Leah was not loved, he enabled her to conceive, but Rachel remained childless.
32 Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben, for she said, “It is because the Lord has seen my misery. Surely my husband will love me now.”
33 She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, “Because the Lord heard that I am not loved, he gave me this one too.” So she named him Simeon.
34 Again she conceived, and when she gave birth to a son she said, “Now at last my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” So he was named Levi.
35 She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, “This time I will praise the Lord.” So she named him Judah. Then she stopped having children.
Outline:
LEAH’S PRAISE
Genesis 29:31-35
MOST OF US HAVE OR WILL EXPERIENCE THE PAIN OF COMPARISON AND REJECTION
- Leah’s pain (vs. 30-31 – “Leah was hated”, see also vs. 17&25)
- Our pain
THE MOST HUMAN RESPONSE TO THIS PAIN IS TO TRY AND IMPRESS OTHERS BY WHAT WE DO
- Leah “impresses” Jacob? (vs. 32-34 – “…now my husband…”)
- Impressing others
PRAISING THE LORD IS THE BEST RESPONSE TO THIS PAIN
- Leah’s praise (vs. 35 – “…this time I will praise the Lord”)
- Praise the Lord (Psalm 42:5&11, 139:14, 106:1, 150:2)
