"And when the Lord saw that Leah was despised, He made her able to bear children, but Rachel was barren." (Genesis 29:31 AMPC)
Jacob had a wife prepared for him in the house of Laban, but he chose to love the sister. Leah was the will of God for him but he was inflamed with passion for Rachel. He even spent seven extra years of his precious life to marry Rachel. The same Rachel made him to pass through a lot of heartbreak and sorrow in life.
What are you passionate about without consulting God? Are you convinced that it is the will of God for you to pursue that career path? The 'Leah' you have despised and rejected is the will of God. Your 'Rachel' is your own will. The will of God may not always look attractive, but in the end you will have a cause to thank Him.
ACTION PLAN: Repent today and ask God for forgiveness. Ask Him for direction and do not lean on your own understanding.
PRAYER: Father, open my eyes and lead me on the path everlasting.
