Bible Reading: Gen. 24: 50 - 60
Topic: When God Speaks
It was clear to all - both
Abraham's servant and Rebekah's family - that God was involved in the unfolding
story before them.
And true wisdom demands
that no man resist or seek to truncate what God has ordained in His Infinite
Wisdom
When God speaks concerning
any matter, all obstacles are ultimately dismantled because no man has the
right to say no when God has said yes on any matter.
"Rebekah is yours,
take her and go, let her marry your Master's son as the Lord hath
commanded" was the response of Rebekah's family
It is overwhelmingly clear
that Abraham's servant acknowledged God from the beginning to the end (vs. 12 -
15, 52), an example that every child of God must follow in all situations.
In Jer. 33: 3, God says
"call to Me and I will answer you and show great and mighty things you do
not know"
No man fails in any mission in which God is assigned His rightful place.
No man fails in any mission in which God is assigned His rightful place.
Despite the emotional
distress, Rebekah's departure would likely cause her family, they sent her off
with hearty blessings.
God's children must learn
to let go when God says so and this nor grudgingly but heartily.
Prayer
Lord, to learn to
consciously submit to Your Will in all areas of life, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Memory Verse Gen. 24: 60
"And they blessed
Rebekah and said unto her; Thou art our sister, be thou the Mother of
thousands, of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate
them."
