When Rachel saw that she could not give Jacob children, her jealousy toward her sister simmered. So, she said to Jacob, “Give me sons, or I’ll die!” Jacob became furious with Rachel and said, “Am I God? He’s the one keeping you from bearing children!” She replied, “Here’s my servant Bilhah. Sleep with her. She can be my surrogate; then I can have children through her and build a family.” So Rachel gave her servant Bilhah to Jacob as another wife, and Jacob slept with her. And Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son, and Rachel named him Dan, saying, “God has vindicated me. He heard my voice and gave me a son.” Then her servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son. Rachel named him Naphtali, saying, “I have wrestled mightily with my sister, and I won!”

The story of the first and only sister-wives recorded in the Bible teaches us that the challenges we face in relationships are not new and God's standard is perfect. This 5-day plan addresses how to avoid unnecessary heartaches and overcome the comparison trap in relationships.
With tales of brotherly betrayal, a technicolor dream coat, and jailhouse redemption, Joseph’s story has been told and retold for millennia. Still, the point of Scripture is not merely to tell good stories, but to reveal the heart of God. Without God, Joseph’s story could be nothing more than a series of mistakes and misunderstandings. Because of God, it is a tale for the ages, one that can give you fresh hope for your family.
