Leah's Yahudah

Monday, March 6, 2023

Jacob had two wives, Rachel and Leah. Rachel was loved. Leah was unloved. Rachel was beautiful, but apparently Leah was not. Yet, God looked down and blessed her. He gave her children. One of them named Judah, or in Hebrew, Yahudah, which means praise, thanks, worship. From Yahudah, Leah's baby, we get the tribe of Judah, from which came Messiah, the Lion of the tribe of Yahudah, Judah. Leah was unloved, but not by God who looks to the inside, not the outside. Her praise, her Yahudah, her Judah, resulted in the birth of Messiah. It doesn't matter what people think of you. Praise Him in your problem: hardship, weakness, rejection, trouble, loneliness - in all things. From your praise will come your blessing, the redemption of your situation, as it was with Leah. From your praise will come your answer and the fullness of His blessing. Through your praise will come Yeshua, Jesus. It doesn't matter what you're going through, praise Him and Yeshua, Jesus, will come through.
