Romans 12:18
How do we pursue peace amid rivalry and jealousy? Rachel and Leah’s story shows the pain that competition can bring, even within a family. Their rivalry for Jacob’s affection and the desire for children created ongoing tension, yet God worked through their imperfections to fulfill His promises. Romans 12:18 urges us, “If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.” For Rachel and Leah, peace was hard to find, but God’s faithfulness remained, even through their conflicts. Their story encourages us to seek peace, even when relationships are challenging. Though it’s not always easy, choosing compassion over competition opens the door for God to work in our hearts and circumstances. As we pursue peace in our own lives, we reflect God’s love and find a path to unity, even in the midst of rivalry.
