Today’s devotional is titled:
Grateful Because of God, Not Situations
Genesis 29:35
“She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, ‘This time I will praise the Lord.’ So she named him Judah. Then she stopped having children.”
Leah lived in a situation that was not easy. She was Jacob’s first wife, but Jacob loved Rachel, her younger sister, more. Imagine what it felt like—to always be “second place.” Leah often felt unloved, unnoticed, and maybe—in today’s terms—like she was living in someone else’s shadow.
But there was one important moment. When Leah gave birth to her fourth son, she named him Judah, which means praise. She said, “This time I will praise the Lord.” Even more amazing, from Judah’s line came the Messiah: Jesus Christ. Imagine that! From a woman who was often considered “less,” God brought forth His greatest work.
Truth Junior friends, sometimes the world feels unfair. Maybe you feel overshadowed by a friend who is more popular, smarter, or more loved. Maybe you’ve felt not enough, unappreciated, or always “losing out.” But remember—God still cares. You don’t need to wait until the world values you to give thanks. Start now, because true joy is only found in God.
