New Beginnings, Day 25

Excessive. Read Genesis chapter 25.

Rebekah wasn’t the only woman to have her kids wrestle around in her womb, but it must have been so excessive since she went to ask God about it. It’s amazing to think about how much movement would have been considered excessive, and just how much fussing and fighting was going on between Jacob and Esau before they were even born. God obviously had planned for all of that, but it’s interesting to realize that Rebekah wanted to understand what that plan was and why things seemed to be unusual.

Do we try to fix them or do we go to God and ask about them? Rebekah wanted to understand from the Lord the meaning behind the situation she was in, and God shared with her what was going to happen. We can go to God with anything going on in our life, especially when it seems odd or unusual. God understands the new beginnings. He is moving us through and that will often require change and something different. Are we relying on God to help us through the changes we experience?
