SCRIPTURE UNION DAILY GUIDE 29TH JUNE 2022 DEVOTIONAL
Topic: Desire For Children
Opening Prayer: Oh Lord, grant me divine guidance as I read and meditate on your word in Jesus name.
Scripture: Genesis 30:1 – 24
Question(s) for Reflection
• What does the passage teach about God the Father, or God the Son or God the Holy Spirit?
• What truth is God revealing to me in this passage?
Some married couples have been together for many years without bearing children. But it is always good to leave the situation in the hands of God, especially when all the factors that can cause infertility have been identified and dealt with medically. God is sovereign and He knows what is best for us at every point in time. (v.2; Genesis 25:21; 29:31).
The desire for children when not properly handled leads to competition, rivalry and show off as seen between Leah and Rachel (v.1). It can even take us away from the God we serve. Rachel cried to Jacob “Give me children or I will die” (v.1). She forgot as many do today that “Children are a gift from the LORD” (Psalm 127: 3). Let us go to him for mercy, and continue to be thankful, for He cares.
We must not run from pillar to post, Church to Church, man to man, tradition to fetishism for self‐help and man‐made solution at the expense of our faith and life. Let us take Jeremiah’s word in 17:5 very seriously. In Africa, barrenness is erroneously considered as bad luck and the blame is usually on the woman. Couples must trust God for answer to their prayers. (vs.22‐24).
• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
• Lord, bless couples who are waiting on you for children with godly children to serve the church and our nation.
Offer a prayer of faith in line with
Psalms 30:10 ‐ 11; 1 Kings 18, 19; Ecclesiastes 12; Psalms 57
