Special People/ Rebekah

The bible is sometimes referred to as a man's book because it reveals so much of the roles of the men of those times. From their inspirations by the Holy Spirit to write it, to their roles in leadership, battles and the early church it might seem so. And yet God did not leave women out of the important roles that they fulfilled, not only in the family, but in the church, and at the greatest event of all time. The Ressurection of Jesus Christ.

They were just as special to God as the men, and even perhaps more so. And so every other Special person I will profile will be one of these amazing women so that maybe we can learn more about what made them tick and why they were so special in the eyes of God First up.......

Rebekaa Genesis 24

Question: Have you ever had something so wonderful happen in your life where you had just happened to be in the right place at the right time? Maybe it really was because God put you there at that moment in time.

Well, that is how Rebekah met her husband Isaac. His father was Abraham, who by this time was an old man. He decided it was time for Isaac to marry and so he sent his servant to the city of Nahor to find a wife for his son. The servant came to a well there and prayed that  whichever young woman would offer a drink of water to both he and his camels, she would be God's choice to be Isaac 's wife.

While he was still praying, a beautiful virgin came to the well and did offer a  drink to the servant and his camels. The servant knew that  she was the woman that God had wanted for Isaac.

Arrangements were made between the servant, Rebekha's father and her brother and soon they were on their way back to Isaac. When they got to the field where he was mediating, she asked the servant who the man was. The servant told her he was his master. So she covered herself with her veil and the servant told Isaac that she was to be his wife. Isaac took her to his mother's tent (Sarah) who was now deceased, and married her

It also says in verse 66 that when he took her to his mother's tent, Isaac loved her. How can anyone love anyone that  quickly? Well, the bible doesn't give us specifics about how much time did or didn't go by between their meeting and when they actually got married.  Was it days, weeks, monthes? Obviously it wasn't important enough for us to know. At least not in this passage anyway. Whatever the time element, that wasn't the important thing about this part of the story. The important part was that God selected the right  wife for Isaac, brought her along at just the right time, and Isaac loved her. No matter the circumstances, our God can do anything.

Beyond that, who was Rebekha? Come back tomorrow for more of her story.
