Beyond Religion - Through Weak Eyes W. Anne Vega
Scorned and rejected by man, God chose this woman with ‘weak eyes’ to lay an eternal foundation of endurance, strength, patience, perseverance, love and victory, to build a nation.
Forced into a loveless marriage by her father, and living under the shadow of a domineering, beautiful sister, she battles through rejection, worthlessness, and despair to become a matriarch of an enduring tribe of people.
This incredible redemptive, love story unfolds in an extraordinary mother’s history. When, at the birth of her fourth son, she declared, “...“THIS TIME I WILL PRAISE ADONAI.” Therefore, she named him JUDAH, meaning ‘Praise’.” (Genesis 29:31-35)
One of my favorite lines of my fictional interpretation is in Chapter 15. It’s when Leah finally gives up her struggle for Jacob’s love and affection and decides to praise God.
She says: “...As much as I love Jacob, I no longer want him, I just want to praise my God for all that He has done. His love is more than enough. This is no longer about my purpose or Jacob’s for that matter. It’s about God’s purposes and His only. My purpose is to praise Him...â€
Just as Leah became free to fulfill God’s purposes when she chose to focus on praising Him (and named her fourth son, Judah, meaning praise), I’m also free to become all that God has planned for me. (Jeremiah 29:11)
Thankfully, God has transformed my eyes to see through His; to see His sovereignty; to see hope that is only found in Him; to see His ultimate plan and purpose for good; to see that, “What the enemy meant for evil, God meant for good.†(Genesis 50:20).
