Mandrakes are the fruit of
the Mandragora
officinarum, a member of
the Solanaceae or potato
order, closely allied to the
Atropa belladonna. It is a
common plant all over
Israel, flourishing
particularly in the spring
and ripening about the time
of the wheat harvest (Gen
30:14). The plant has a
rosette of handsome dark
leaves, dark purple flowers
and orange, tomato-like
fruit
Truth: God wants us to come
to the end of our own efforts
to get our own desires and
trust Him to dispense
His blessings wisely, justly,
and compassionately
Work Life Lessons
• Protect your integrity
• Mature your work ethic
• See your success as from God
Prosperity can have one of two effects on
people.
Some view their success as a trust from God
and put it to good use for him.
Others, however see it as a personal
accomplishment and the means to personal
power.
Such an independent, self-sufficient attitude
is harmful to the faith, for it robs God of his
honor by attributing the prosperity to human
ingenuity.
