Morning Scripture
“And it happened, before he had finished speaking, that behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. Now the young woman was very beautiful to behold, a virgin; no man had known her. And she went down to the well, filled her pitcher, and came up. And the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please let me drink a little water from your pitcher.” So she said, “Drink, my lord.” Then she quickly let her pitcher down to her hand, and gave him a drink. And when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.” Then she quickly emptied her pitcher into the trough, ran back to the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.”
Genesis 24:15-20 NKJV

“Before he had finished praying, he saw a young woman named Rebekah coming out with her water jug on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel, who was the son of Abraham’s brother Nahor and his wife, Milcah. Rebekah was very beautiful and old enough to be married, but she was still a virgin. She went down to the spring, filled her jug, and came up again. Running over to her, the servant said, “Please give me a little drink of water from your jug.” “Yes, my lord,” she answered, “have a drink.” And she quickly lowered her jug from her shoulder and gave him a drink. When she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels, too, until they have had enough to drink.” So she quickly emptied her jug into the watering trough and ran back to the well to draw water for all his camels.”

Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father, thank you for reminding us that it costs us nothing to be kind to each other. Father, you have placed us here to be our brother’s keeper, to be kind to one another, to be of service. Remind us daily, Father, to reach out to each other, to lend a hand - not looking for a reward, just because we can. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
Mama says this all the time, “It doesn’t cost you anything to be nice to somebody.” When I began teaching, I realized that many children came to school and needed a kind word. And now, scripture says that this young girl gave this stranger water because he asked. What are we doing out of the kindness of our hearts??? Glory be unto God.

Morning Scripture
“and said, “Whose daughter are you?

Morning Scripture
“And he said, “Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken His mercy and His truth toward my master. As for me, being on the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master’s brethren.” So the young woman ran and told her mother’s household these things.” Genesis 24:27-28 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/gen.24.27-28.nkjv ““Praise the Lord, the God of my master, Abraham,” he said. “The Lord has shown unfailing love and faithfulness to my master, for he has led me straight to my master’s relatives.” The young woman ran home to tell her family everything that had happened.” Genesis 24:27-28 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/gen.24.27-28.nlt |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. My Lord, Our God, we bless you and we thank you for traveling mercies, for safe passage, and for a welcoming arrival. We thank you for deliverance, reception, and victory for this leg of the journey. We thank you for your faithfulness to us, because each victory reminds of your promises yesterday and encourages us for the days ahead. We also thank you for covering, we thank you that your covering shelters the head of our household and all underneath. My Lord, you are an awesome God and we praise your Holy Name. In Jesus’ name we pray and shout Glory. Amen. Amen and thank you Lord. So, how did I get here….
HMM…. I think we should be more intentional about the prayers of those in our household, so that they are covered. Just a last minute thought or conviction… Amen or Ouch…. HMMMM…. |

Morning Scripture
“Now Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban, and Laban ran out to the man by the well. And he said, “Come in, O blessed of the LORD! Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels.” Food was set before him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told about my errand.” And he said, “Speak on.” Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, “The thing comes from the LORD; we cannot speak to you either bad or good. Here is Rebekah before you; take her and go, and let her be your master’s son’s wife, as the LORD has spoken.” And it came to pass, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, that he worshiped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.” Genesis 24:29, 31, 33, 50-52 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/gen.24.29,31,33,50-52.nkjv “Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, who ran out to meet the man at the spring. Laban said to him, “Come and stay with us, you who are blessed by the Lord! Why are you standing here outside the town when I have a room all ready for you and a place prepared for the camels?” Then food was served. But Abraham’s servant said, “I don’t want to eat until I have told you why I have come.” “All right,” Laban said, “tell us.” Then Laban and Bethuel replied, “The Lord has obviously brought you here, so there is nothing we can say. Here is Rebekah; take her and go. Yes, let her be the wife of your master’s son, as the Lord has directed.” When Abraham’s servant heard their answer, he bowed down to the ground and worshiped the Lord.” Genesis 24:29, 31, 33, 50-52 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/gen.24.29,31,33,50-52.nlt |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things - for a testimony. Father, thank you for reminding us that when you show up in our lives and fulfill your promise - your presence cannot be denied. Thank you for the power of a testimony - not to brag - but to tell people of our challenges, your goodness, and your deliverance. Thank you for the servant who said I must first tell you of God’s goodness. And a testimony so blessed that others believed and celebrated also. Thank you, Lord, for your grace and your mercy. In Jesus’ name we pray and praise your name for promise and deliverance. Amen. Amen. Amen. One more thing…. “And Isaac brought Rebekah into his mother Sarah’s tent, and she became his wife. He loved her deeply, and she was a special comfort to him after the death of his mother.” Genesis 24:67 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/gen.24.67.nlt Won’t HE do it!! |
