—Genesis 24:24-33
by: Dale Rood.
Genesis 24 is one of the most touching stories in the Bible. It tells about how Abraham’s servant found a wife for Isaac, Abraham’s son. By reading the whole chapter, one can see the hand of God directing this mission from start to finish. A big part of how God worked was through the hospitality of Rebekah and her brother, Laban, in watering the servant’s camels and hosting him in their father’s home. God regularly encourages His people to show hospitality to others. When we do so, we never know what purpose God may be using us for.
