“And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, Now I will praise the LORD. Therefore she called his name Judah. Then she stopped bearing.” Genesis 29:35

Leah felt unloved and the LORD opened her womb and she birth’s four son’s. While looking for love from her husband Jacob and getting nothing. She birth’s her fourth son Judah and I believe she then realizes the LORD has been blessing her the whole time; “Now I will praise the LORD.” No matter what our situation is good or bad, we need to praise the LORD in all things!

“In the day of my trouble I will call upon You. For You will answer me.” Psalm 86:7

“The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Psalm 118:6

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD.” Jeremiah 17:7

So look to Him the author and finisher of our lives! Have a blessed day!

“If you confess with your mouth the LORD Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9

Often times we will look for help in all kinds of places instead of just calling on the LORD! When we do call upon Him and get some help, we often walk away until the next crisis! That’s not how it works, walking with the LORD is a way of life, walking with Him through good times and bad!

“Take My yoke upon you and LEARN from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:29-30

“And as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

“How beautiful upon the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who proclaims peace, Who brings glad tidings of good things, Who proclaims salvation, Who says to Zion, Your God reigns!” Isaiah 52:7

“Sing to the LORD, bless His name; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.” Psalm 96:2

“Sing to the LORD, bless His name; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.” Psalm 96:2
