Scripture of the Day
Genesis 24:55-58 (NKJV)
“I Will Go”
But her brother and her mother said, “Let the young woman stay with us a few days, at least ten; after that she may go.” And he said to them, “Do not hinder me, since the LORD has prospered my way; send me away so that I may go to my master.” So they said, “We will call the young woman and ask her personally.” Then they called Rebekah and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” And she said, “I will go.”

The oldest servant of Abraham made a covenant with his master that he would find his son, Isaac, a wife. GOD lead the servant to the exact place of where he would find Isaac’s bride. However, Rebekah did not know it was her. Yet she was found! The time came to where the servant of Abraham stated his purpose for being there (even before he would eat). When the time came for Rebekah to follow the servant . . . her family asked if she could stay! But the servant, reminded them that the time had come for her to follow, but they were asking for at least ten days. Then, the question was given to Rebekah herself, and her answer to the servant was, “I will go.”
JESUS is the Servant of the Master who has come for the bride! When JESUS came, HE stated HIS purpose. Although family members may not want you to follow the Servant of the LORD, the question is given to you, and HE is waiting on your answer! I pray that your answer will be, “I Will Go!” Don’t let anyone or anything hold you back from following the Servant of the LORD! In fact, let this day be your first step with JESUS!

UE WEEEE!!!! You preached this scripture this morning. I read this a couple of weeks ago and it came to life this morning with the understanding that God has given you to share with us. Thank you for sharing. You could preach a whole lesson on this. "(even before he would eat)"represents obedience above/before satisfying the flesh.
That was profound to me also! After a journey on the back of camels in all of the heat, I'm sure they were hungry and thirsty. But Genesis 24:33 says, "Then food was set before him, but he said, "I will not eat until I have told you what I have to say."
