 COME, FOLLOW ME MOMS Episode 10 March 2–8 | Genesis 24–33 “Let God Prevail” Hey mamas Welcome to Week 10 of Come, Follow Me Moms, where we take the weekly Come, Follow Me lesson and pull out the meat and potatoes. I’m your host, Cassie Moore, mom of five (with twins on the way!) and I am so grateful you are here. This week’s reading covers Genesis 24–33 Grab your scriptures, your AirPods, and your favorite drink and let’s dig in. Because this week? There is family drama. Sibling rivalry. Marriage stress. Jealousy. Infertility. Favoritism. Deception. Bitterness. Running away. Twenty years of hard work. And then… wrestling with God. But there is also love. Forgiveness. Covenant. Healing. And God remembering His people. If you’ve ever thought: Why is family so hard? Why is marriage so refining? Why are my kids so different? Why does God allow this tension? Genesis 24–33 says: You are not alone. And the thread through all of it is this: Let God prevail. Section 1: Covenant Marriage Matters (Genesis 24) Abraham sends his servant on a ten-camel journey to find a wife for Isaac. Not just any wife. Not a Canaanite. A covenant wife. This wasn’t about romance. It was about covenant. Rebekah wasn’t chosen because she was beautiful. She was chosen because she was kind. She offered to water ten camels. A single camel can drink around 30 gallons of water. That is WORK. She was generous. Quick to serve. Hospitable. Faithful. Marriage in the scriptures is never casual. It is sacred. Eternal. Covenant-centered. Letting God prevail in your marriage looks like: Choosing love Speaking gently Remembering why you covenanted Praying together Staying when it’s hard Covenant brings power. You don’t build a strong marriage by accident. You build it on purpose. Section 2: Birthright vs. Pottage (Genesis 25) Esau trades his birthright for a bowl of stew. He was hungry. He wanted relief. He wanted something immediate. But birthright meant: Double inheritance Spiritual leadership Covenant promises Sometimes motherhood feels like: “I’m tired.” “Just give me comfort.” “Just give me escape.” But eternal things matter more than temporary relief. Where might we be trading: Patience for yelling? Connection for scrolling? Covenant priorities for convenience? This isn’t about guilt. It’s about awareness. Let God prevail means choosing eternal over immediate. Section 3: Favoritism & Family Damage (Genesis 27) Isaac favored Esau. Rebekah favored Jacob. And the family fractured. Even covenant families are messy. Jacob deceives. Esau is furious. Jacob runs. But here’s the powerful part: God does not abandon Jacob. Your mistakes do not cancel God’s promises over your family. He works through imperfect people. He works through imperfect moms. He works through imperfect marriages. Section 4: Jacob’s Ladder (Genesis 28) Jacob is alone. Afraid. Running. He lays his head on a rock — and heaven opens. A ladder from earth to heaven. Angels ascending and descending. The Lord standing above it. And God says: “I am with thee… I will not leave thee.” This is temple language. This is covenant language. Sometimes your kitchen table becomes your Bethel. Your minivan becomes holy ground. Your quiet prayer becomes your ladder to heaven. Covenants bring power. They bring perspective. They remind us who we are. Section 5: Leah, Rachel & Real Family Pain (Genesis 29–30) This section is raw. Leah was not chosen. Rachel was barren. There was jealousy. Comparison. Heartbreak. And yet, we read: “God remembered Rachel.” God remembers. He remembers: The mom who feels unseen The wife who feels overlooked The woman waiting for prayers to be answered The one in a long season of comparison He remembers you. God works with imperfect families. Not perfect ones. Real ones. Section 6: Twenty Years (Genesis 31) Jacob works for Laban for twenty years. Twenty years of: Labor Waiting Raising children Being treated unfairly Quiet faithfulness Sometimes motherhood feels like that. Long obedience. Unseen labor. Faithful repetition. God sees long seasons. Let God prevail in the ordinary years, not just the dramatic moments. Section 7: Wrestling with God (Genesis 32) This is the turning point. Jacob prepares to face Esau. He is afraid. He prays. And then he wrestles all night. He says: “I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.” And God changes his name to Israel. “Let God prevail.” Jacob’s life changed when he stopped grabbing blessings and started surrendering. Letting God prevail does not mean: Life is easy Family is perfect Marriage is painless It means: God gets the final say. Not fear. Not pride. Not jealousy. Not control. Section 8: Healing Family (Genesis 33) Jacob expects revenge. Esau runs to him and embraces him. Forgiveness. Healing. Restoration. Is there someone in your life you need to soften toward? Let God prevail in your relationships. Closing Thoughts “...
