When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she took her slave Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife. Leah’s slave Zilpah bore Jacob a son. Then Leah said, “What good fortune!” and she named him Gad. (Genesis 30:9-11)
The name Gad means “good fortune.”
Children are indeed a blessing from God. But what price did Leah have to pay in order to receive her “good fortune.” Was it really worth now having to share her husband with a fourth woman?
Let us not seek that kind of “good fortune.” Instead, let us seek the blessings that come in Christ. The awesome thing about those blessings? The price for them was already paid for us on the cross.
Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavens in Christ. (Ephesians 1:3)
