"Fatigued."
She was the eldest daughter of Laban; She was not as beautiful as Rachel, her younger sister, and she had "delicate eyes." Leah was given to Jacob in marriage, in place of Rachel, for whom Jacob had served seven years.

Laban's reason was that in his social environment the younger girl could not be given in marriage before the older girl.

Leah bore the following children to Jacob: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun and also Dinah, the sister (Gen. 29:16-35; 30:17-21).

Upon her death she was buried in the cave of Machpelah (Gen. 49:31), the tomb also of Sarah, Abraham, Isaac and Rebekah, and later of Jacob (Gen. 23:19; 25: 9-10; 35 : 9; 50:13).

Trust in Him No matter what you are going through in life, you can trust God to be with you.

Some Positive Thing We Can Look at or Talk

Joyce Meyer

I once read a book that was based entirely on the word. He taught the reader to take each problem in his life, look at it honestly and then say “however,” and find something compensating positive in the individual's life that would put the problem into perspective.

The Bible makes it clear that we need to love each other as God loves us.

Learning the Love Languages

Gary Chapman

Many couples earnestly love each other but do not communicate their love in an effective way. If you don’t speak your spouse’s primary love language, he or she may not feel loved, even when you are showing love in other ways.

Why is it important to understand the distinction of the Spirit? Because He’s the one to whom we relate.

The Voice of the Spirit Within Us

Chris Tiegreen

We don’t understand the mysteries of the relationship between Father, Son, and Spirit, but we do know each has a distinct role in our lives. When Jesus tells His disciples about the work of the Spirit, He explains that the Spirit will hear from Jesus Himself, who in turn has heard from the Father.

If you already know the joy of Jesus, pray now for those who don’t yet understand that God wants them to invite his Son into their hearts.

Humbly Choosing God

Katie Brazelton

I’m convinced God will do anything for those who are meek, anything at all that’s in their best interest. When we humbly understand who we are in relation to him, our lives begin to make sense with a newfound confidence in him, his power, and his ways.

Truth and Love

John MacArthur

The apostle John was always committed to truth, and there’s certainly nothing wrong with that, but it is not enough. Zeal for the truth must be balanced by love for people.
