After 20
years into their marriage without kids, Isaac decided to plea to the Lord
because most likely they were tired of having it all to themselves. My husband and I got to that point after seven
years! It was all to ourselves and for us; since the moment we would wake up it
was to please each other and it got the point where we were bore of doing just
that. We would wake up, and go to work,
to amount earthly treasures, for who? We had no descendants, therefore it was
all for us. We would say, go, and do all
that we wanted it, at the time we wanted it, our soul was thirsty, and we had
no idea what else to do to satisfy that craving. We were empty all the time, although we had
it all. And that was after seven years, I don’t even want to think how much
worst could it been for Isaac after twenty! Praise the Lord, HE heard my cry and
on our seven anniversary celebration, the HE blessed me with a pregnancy. That was
Rebekah’s blessing as well, she got pregnant!
As
a first time I remember lots of question arose in regards to my own body that
by then had started to react different to almost every “normal” thing. I’m sure that’s what happened to Rebekah, and
maybe even to those of you who might pregnant at this time. Sometimes, the food you love the most doesn’t smell as good as it used
to, places you used to love do not make you feel “comfortable” anymore; people
you used to hang out with, you feel you
do not like them anymore or get on your “nerves”. And this all has to do with
the transformation that its happening in that secret place where God is
knitting your baby, inside your womb therefore you do not see it but you’re
responding to the transformation happening inside of you. The comfort at sleep isn’t the same, your sleeping
habits change; as almost everything else had change. You can’t bend over as
easy as you used to, now you get tire more easily; and sometimes depending on
the cases, you might even need to take a “power nap” to be able to finish your
daily tasks. And if all of these things happen with a single baby pregnancy,
can you imagine when the pregnancy is with twins?
According to the Jewish Women Archive Encyclopedia[1],
Rebekah was fourteen when she married, “old Mr. Isaac”. This is an indication that when she got
pregnant and delivered the babies, she must been around thirty-four years old
and her husband was sixty! Yes, sixty[2]!!!
Today, a pregnancy at the age of thirty-five doctors considered it a “high risk”,
which back then was not but the risks were the same, and who know if more due
to all the technological advances she didn’t have then. And still we can see on
verse twenty-two that “the two kids struggled with each other in her womb”, if it’s
a tight place for one, for two is even tighter! So what to do??? She called
upon GOD for HIM to tell her what that “battle” in her tummy was?! And of
course The LORD answered!
So, next time
something unknown happens to you, would you
call upon God first before you go to your phone, friend, social media app, or
special someone? Our Heavenly Father knows best! He knows it all! Yes we have today’s
technology to “scan” our body, but do
not mistake by going an outsider BEFORE you get things straight from
whom created you, the true source of life, you're opening yourself to an entire set of doubts that can place you in the negative to receive God's blessings. He will lead you in the way you
ought to go. Choose GOD first, always!!!
If you have
questions about the decision making process be sure to check yesterday’s blog “The
Day Rebekah’s Life changed” or inbox me.
I’m praying
for the Lord to give you hunger for Him, as you seek His presence to fill your
life.
