Genesis 22-24
Man if only finding your future spouse was as easy today as it was back then: go ask a girl for water at the well and if she says yes, that's the one for you. However simple that seems, and however willing Rebekah was, I'm sure it must have been hard to leave her family and go with a man she'd never met to marry his master -- another man she'd never met. And yet, her family wanted to keep her a bit longer and she was the one who decided to go right away. I think of young she must have been and how serene she was. It was apparent that the whole situation was from God, so she had faith and went. Would that I trusted so completely.
This is a convicting post. I am in a time where all I CAN do is trust Him. He's not even given me the option of a false control, just Him right now. Always.
ReplyDeleteYour post also speaks to the thoughts I've had recently while reading scripture, "what did it feel like to trust God so quickly and surely?"
Particularly when I read Esther I think about that. She was human just like all of us. Thank you for this.
