Bible Reading: Gen. 24: 61 - 67
Topic: Isaac Had Time For God
Isaac was a godly man, who
devoted quality time to meditation and prayer to God.
He obviously had a habit
of separating himself from the noisome neighbourhood unto a quiet and conducive
atmosphere to aid his meditation.
Isaac was clearly aware
that his father's chief servant had undertaken a mission to secure a wife for
him. Yet being equally mindful of the wisdom that relying on the arm of flesh
would ultimately spell disaster (Jer. 17:5), he probably included the servant's
trip in his prayers.
Isaac lifted up his eyes
in the place of meditation and saw Rebekah.
Revelations are most
likely encountered in an atmosphere of meditation. Upon setting their eyes on
each other, their hearts were immediately knit together, an indication that she
must be God's answer to the prayers of the family and Isaac knew Rebekah was in
the scheme of God's will for his life and she would now be his confidant and
companion.
With his mother gone, this
was great comfort to him.
Divine comfort awaits you
in your prayer closet
Prayer
Gracious Lord, teach me to
endeavour to spend quality time in Your presence every day so I may be aligned
with Your purpose for me, Amen.
Memory Verse Gen. 24: 67
"And Isaac brought her into his mother
Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah and she became his wife: and he loved her: and
Isaac was comforted after his mother's death."
