Genesis 24:50-51

Laban and Bethuel answered, "This is from the LORD; we can say nothing to you one way or the other. Here is Rebekah; take her and go, and let her become the wife of your master's son, as the LORD has directed."

Abraham sent his chief servant in search of a bride for Issac. Off he went, obediently, to another land with gifts and camels in search for this bride. Firstly, the servant listened very carefully to his master's instructions. He also regarded his task as a high privilege, an honor, and not an inconvenience. He was devoted and faithful that God will bless his journey and goal. When the servant found a maiden who was kind to him, God made it clear to him that she was the one he has come for. And when the maiden agreed to follow him back to marry Issac, the servant generously gave all the gifts and camels to her family.

Dear Mr God,

This is a somewhat simple yet powerful story. Thank you Mr God for helping me understand what it means and how it relates to our Christian life and purpose.

This servant is a reflection of what we as children of God should be; people who would go to the ends of the world and bring more people to you, like the servant in search for a bride for Issac. And like him, we should listen to your instructions and be generous to others with all the gifts that you have given us. And last but not least, we should be upfront and unashamed of who we are and be willing to speak freely about you.

Mr God, I pray that you will tame us into good servants who aren't afraid to serve and honor you and most importantly, to trust in you in delivering us to where you want us to be.

Thank you Mr God and please deliver me too.

Love,
Kittycad
