A Mother’s Identity

Written By Jeremy Metzger

Genesis 29:31-35

Leah’s Identity Traps

  1. Reuben - trap of self-performance

  2. Simeon - trap of reputation

  3. Levi - trap of idolatry (not the little stone men; but people or things we put in the place of God)

The way out of all traps

  1. Judah - praise

    Judah, being the ancestral line from which Jesus would come, allowed Leah (and us) to enter His rest. To stop bearing, to stop laboring, to stop chasing identity from other things, and REST in His identity for us.
