Read Gen. 24:59-67
Rebekah took her servant and left with Isaac’s servant. Before she left her family they blessed her to be a mother of thousands of millions. They added that her seed would possess the gates of the enemy. Rebekah did become the mother of thousands of millions of Jews and from her seed came Jesus who possessed the gates of hell for us. Blessings are so important. With our words we can create life and blessing or we can create death and destruction. Every word that proceeds from our mouth is alive and active just as every word that proceeded from Jesus’ mouth was active and productive. We need to watch what we say and create life and blessing.
Meanwhile, Isaac is traveling south from the well of Lahai-roi which means “living waters that see me”. God did see Isaac and answered his prayer for a wife. When Isaac went out to the field to pray, he looked up and saw camels coming his way. At the same time, Rebekah saw him and slid off her camel. When she found out who it was she veiled herself and covered herself. The servant told Isaac how God had led him to Rebekah and Isaac married her and loved her.
Lord, watch over our mouths and remind us to create life.
