“In the midst of our most profound pain, there is often great relief in laying all our hurts and fears before our Heavenly Father. He already knows the turmoil or trials in our lives, but there's something freeing about talking to Him, unloading our burdens and taking up His assurances to serve as our strength and our shield, our refuge and hiding place.” Biblical Inspiration Book:The Women of the Bible Speak: The Wisdom of 16 Women and Their Lessons for Today Source: The Women of the Bible Speak: The Wisdom of 16 Women and Their Lessons for Today
“.....fertility in the ancient world was about much more than just having children. Fertility, the life created and carried by women, was considered a sign of God's favor. For Rachel, her lack of fertility must have felt like a curse. Was infertility to be her reward for everything she had gone through? She had waited seven long years for her chance to marry Jacob and have children. Surely, God would reward her! But it seemed she got only heartache instead.” Biblical Inspiration Book:The Women of the Bible Speak: The Wisdom of 16 Women and Their Lessons for Today Source: The Women of the Bible Speak: The Wisdom of 16 Women and Their Lessons for Today
