Genesis 24:50-67
The terms in which Abraham’s servant has described his master and the riches of which he has given a sample, have touched Rebekah’s heart. She is decided, she will go (v. 58).
You who have heard so much about the Lord, who have had the opportunity to enjoy the treasures of His grace in your parents’ home, have you decided for Him in your own heart? You are asked the question today. Will you go? It is not in several days or even tomorrow that the Spirit of God is urging you to do it: it is today!
Now begins for Rebekah the long journey across the desert. She has left everything at the word of the servant who is now leading her. Thus the Church, the bride of Christ, pursues her pathway of sorrow and weariness in this world, which is a desert for her. Meanwhile the Holy Spirit occupies her heart with the Well-beloved whom she has not seen, but who is coming to meet her. "What a special moment it will be for Thy holy assembly, when Thou wilt introduce her into the heavenly places," says a French hymn. What a moment for Him also! Rebekah became Isaac’s wife and he loved her from then on. But Christ already loves His Assembly. And His heart, very much more than ours, is waiting for that blessed moment, for the eternal satisfaction of His divine love.
