Bible Verse: Genesis 24:19 

After she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have had enough to drink.”

When Abraham wanted to find a wife for his son, he didn’t want Isaac to marry someone from the Canaanite people. Instead, he wanted Isaac to marry a good woman from their own family back in their homeland. To make this happen, Abraham sent his trusted servant on a journey to find the right woman.

The servant traveled to a distant place and reached a well. At the well, he prayed to God for help and asked for a sign to identify the perfect woman. He decided that if a young woman came to the well and not only gave him water to drink but also watered his camels, she would be the one chosen by God.

A young woman named Rebekah came to the well and did exactly what the servant had asked for. This confirmed to the servant that she was the one meant to be Isaac’s wife. So, the servant brought Rebekah back to Abraham, and she became Isaac’s wife. This fulfilled Abraham’s wish to find a suitable wife for his son.

Rebekah’s act of kindness at the well, where she offered to water Abraham’s servant’s camels, showed her generosity and hospitality. It revealed her good character and played an important role in God’s plan. Because of this, she was chosen as Isaac’s wife, which made her an important part of the family tree leading to Jesus Christ. Rebekah’s willingness to serve not only gave her a significant role in the Bible’s history but also taught us the importance of being humble and serving others in our own lives.

The Lesson: We can learn the importance of kindness, hospitality, and selflessness from Rebekah’s example. We can put these same values in our daily interactions by helping others, treating people with respect, and volunteering for charitable causes. Small acts of kindness can make a big difference in our communities, fostering connections and creating a more supportive society. By embracing these values and striving for compassion, we can contribute to a better world.
