“Why, then, did Jacob employ the striped pieces of wood if God was the One who was going to turn the baby animals spotted and speckled? The answer seems to be that God provided this procedure as a display of Jacob’s faith. (Like the bronze serpent in Numbers 21 and the blowing of trumpets at Jericho in Joshua 6). In these cases, the actions of believers did not cause the miracle but bore witness to their faith by giving them a tangible way to show their trust in the God of Israel.”

Podcast of the Month: The Sword and the Trowel

“Leah’s was a bad situation, which God did not completely change. But God changed Leah. He gave her grace to live in a less-than-perfect situation. He multiplied her joy in childbirth. He gave her sons who became the fathers of the greatest of the Jewish tribes. Levi was the father of the priests. Judah was the father of the tribe through whom the Messiah came.”
