“And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the Lord.”
The babies jostled each other within her, and she said, why is this happening to me? So she went to inquire of the LORD. The question is honest and the action is right: when the situation is confusing and painful, go to the LORD to inquire. Rebekah does not simply suffer in confusion or ask her neighbors — she inquires of the LORD. James 1:5 promises wisdom to those who ask God. The application: when your circumstances are confusing and painful, the first and most important inquiry is before God. Rebekah goes to the LORD with the question the situation generates.
