Rev. Dr. Isaac Holt, Jr. | Royal Missionary Baptist Church

Dr. Isaac Holt, Jr. walks us through the story of Jacob, Leah and Rachel in Genesis 29 to illustrate how God sometimes “gives us less of what we want” in order to cause our roots to grow deeper. Listen as Rev. Holt encourages us to learn Leah’s difficult lesson of showing faithfulness during affliction and praising God even when He’s not giving us what we want.
