Thursday September 16th-Rebekah-mother of two nations
The Lord said to her,
“Two nations are in your womb;
And two peoples will be separated from your body;
And one people shall be stronger than the other;
And the older shall serve the younger.”Genesis 25:23
As we see in Rebekah’s story she focused her love and attention on one of her sons. It brought much conflict in her family. She lied to protect him. She was disobedient to her husband and it cost her much. She would never again see her son whom she loved so dearly.
Do you sometimes take matters into your own hands because you are tired of waiting on the Lord?
Do you have an idol in your life that controls what you think and do?
How is your marriage? Do you respect and honor your husband? Are you living our I Peter 3?
Rebekah’s marriage to Isaac was the result of God’s providence, her pregnancy was an answer to prayer, and the lives of her sons fulfilled prophecy. Rebekah’s choice to lie and deceive her husband is an example of how wrongdoing in human beings does not thwart the plans of God and how God can ultimately bring about His will, through His mercy and wisdom, despite our sin, see Genesis 50:20 (got questions)
Mari shares her testimony..take time to read it, it will encourage you!
