Genesis 24:59-67
Relax, Read and Reflect
Prayer-Lord, Open my heart and open my mind and help me learn. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
59 So they sent their sister Rebekah on her way, along with her nurse and Abraham's servant and his men. 60 And they blessed Rebekah and said to her, "Our sister, may you increase to thousands upon thousands; may your offspring possess the gates of their enemies."
61 Then Rebekah and her maids got ready and mounted their camels and went back with the man. So the servant took Rebekah and left.
62 Now Isaac had come from Beer Lahai Roi, for he was living in the Negev. 63 He went out to the field one evening to meditate, [a] and as he looked up, he saw camels approaching. 64 Rebekah also looked up and saw Isaac. She got down from her camel 65 and asked the servant, "Who is that man in the field coming to meet us?" "He is my master," the servant answered. So she took her veil and covered herself.
66 Then the servant told Isaac all he had done. 67 Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah, and he married Rebekah. So she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
Rebekah showed respect to Isaac when she learned the man coming towards them was her betrothed. She dismounted to show respect and covered her face witha vail to show humility. She then became Isaac’s bride.
When we are called to do God’s work and come in the presence of God, do we show respect? Do we show humility? If we want to show God’s love as God’s-not ours, we need to start. That is our challenge.
Prayer- Lord, let all I do or say be for your glory, not mine. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
