Genesis 24 - Isaac and Rebekah | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Genesis 24 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer.Genesis 24 is the longest chapter in Genesis, and tells of how Abraham at the age of 140 organised a wife for his son Isaac. He didn’t want to get a wife from among the Canaanites, even though he was to inherit the land, but from his family. He sent his servant on a long journey, which took about 17 days each way, with ten fully loaded camels, to Haran where Bethuel lived.There the servant prays and God helps in finding a wife. In this we learn how practical Godo is, answering prayers every day in situations all of the time.After finding Rebekah, the servant gives her jewelry worth more than $6000 US Dollars according to estimates with online websites, and that must have helped put Rebekah’s mind at ease knowing her future master was wealthy. Ultimately they gave her, and her family many other things too. But what really settled the deal was knowing it was the will of God.We make many choices in life, and just because the circumstances are correct doesn't mean we should proceed. What we need to know is if the Lord is in it, and thus we need to be people who seek him.
