1/9/2019 Day 9 Genesis 24:1 - 25:18

Reflection

Abe is worried that Isaac is not married yet. Abe is getting old.
He sends his servant to find a woman in his home land. The

servant under a sacred vow goes to the land. Rebekah comes
To the well that the servant and his caravan of gifts are and

tends to the flocks and invites the servant home. The servant
shares his story to her father Laban - a deal is struck and

Rebekah follows the servant back. Isaac in the fields is spotted by
Rebekah and the servant tells Isaac what is going on. Isaac marries
Rebekah and she comforts Isaac when his mother Sarah passes.

Abe died a full life of 175 years after having a new family yielding
another six sons. He was buried with Sarah.

What happened to Ishmael - the servant girls son of Abe? He has

Descendants and lives a full life.

Meditation:

Are you living a full life under God’s guidance?  Why not?

Jesus came that we have life and it be abundant.

Prayer:

O Everlasting God, show us your plan for us and give us the
Faith to implement it. May we live an abundant life.  Let us forever
praise God! Amen
