Under Gods Command

Genesis 30:22-24 Then God remembered Rachel; he listened to her and opened her womb.  She became pregnant and gave birth to a son and said, “God has taken away my disgrace.”  She named him Joseph, and said “May the Lord add to me another son.”

Eventually God answered Rachel’s prayers and gave her a child of her own.  In the meantime, however, she had given her maidservant to Jacob.  Trusting God when nothing seems to happen is difficult.  But it is harder still to live with the consequences of taking matters into our own hands.  Resist the temptation to think God has forgotten you.  Have patience and courage to wait for God to act.
