Genesis 30: Waging Worldly Warfare

Every day we are faced with the choice to either trust in the Lord with all our heart (Prov 3:5-6), or to trust in our own resources and ingenuity to get what we thinkwe deserve.

Trusting in the Lord leads to peace, joy and contentment–it’s called the Spirit-filled life. Trusting in ourselves leads to anxiety, anger and disillusionment–I call it “Waging Worldly Warfare.”

2 Cor 10:3-4 “For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.

Some of you are facing significant challenges in your life today.

1. A husband or wife who has failed to fulfill their calling as a godly spouse
2. A financial crisis that threatens to bring financial ruin
3. A conflict with a friend or a coworker who seems unreasonable and combative
4. An unfulfilled desire that you have become impatient over:
a. The desire for a husband or wife
b.The desire for material things
c. Or, as in the case of Rachel and Leah, the desire to have children.

You are at a critical junction in life–a spiritual crossroads: One fork leads to a life yielded to the loving and faithful care of God. The other leads to an exhausting life marked by pain of “Worldly Warfare.”
