- Genesis 24 Daily DEVO The man gazed at her in silence to learn whether the Lord had prospered his journey or not. Genesis 24:21 – I love this verse because I have been here before. Where this guy prayed a very precise prayer because he didn’t want to have any questions about it, God hears and answered like He was asked to, and then the guy who prayed is stunned that God actually did what he asked God to do! I love it! Granted, a lot of times how God answered us is different than we ask, but don’t be so surprised when He actually comes through like you asked. Remember God is always listening to you. He hears what you are saying to Him. Sometimes He moves in the direction you asked Him to as a reminder of that fact that’s He’s listening. Be willing to accept how God chooses to move and praise Him however He chooses. Take it to as an extra blessing when He makes it abundantly clear He with you like this. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 504
- Then Isaac brought her into the tent of Sarah his mother and took Rebekah, and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death. Genesis 24:67 – Every step of the way they chose faithfulness and we see God responding in blessing. Abraham chose to be faithful in the command to not find a wife for his son among the Canaanites. The servants were faithful in the search for Rebekah and sought God every step of the way. Isaac chose to wait faithfully for the woman God had in store for him. The end result then was love and the comfort he needed to move forward in life. When we choose to be faithful in however God has directed us today know His blessing follows.

- Then food was set before him to eat. But he said, “I will not eat until I have said what I have to say.” He said, “Speak on.” Genesis 24:33 – Abraham sends his most trusted servant on a long trip back to where Abraham’s extended family lived, likely around a 900-mile trip just to get there. The reason? To find a wife for his son Isaac from his extended family for he didn’t want Isaac to take a wife from the Canaanites that were surrounding them. The servant faithfully takes on this long trip, doing exactly what his master directed him to do all along the way. The servant then finds himself now in the house of some of Abraham’s family, with water, food, and comfort readily awaiting him, but he refuses until he completed the full purpose of his master’s command. This servant wasn’t willing to be distracted from the mission until the master’s mission was fully complete. Let this be our story too. This world is so filled with the distractions of comfort and pleasure. Even as believers, who know full well the reality of Heaven and Hell, and fully know the mission to share the gospel, we too can allow ourselves to be distracted by the things of this world from our Master’s mission. Let us though be faithful like this servant of Abraham’s was. Refuse to be lazy when it comes to our Master’s mission. Continue to demonstrate the goodness and love of God through your life, and daily be seeking opportunities to speak of Jesus and the salvation He offers. Like Isaac, Jesus to is awaiting His bride the church. Let us be a servant that is willing to ready His bride for Him. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 2830
