«Then they called Rebekah and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” And she said, “I will go.”» Genesis 24:58
Isaac became a handsome young man! Hi mother Sarah passed away, and he was sad.
In those days parents chose who their children would marry. Abraham noticed that the girls who lived near them did not love God. He did not want Isaac to marry a girl who worshiped idols.
He asked Eliezer, a servant whom he trusted, to find Isaac a wife elsewhere.
Eliezer traveled with his camels to the place Abraham told him. When he arrived, he prayed asking God to show him someone suitable. Then the beautiful shepherdess Rebekah appeared.
He talked to her and saw that she was a special girl who loved God. He told her that he was there to seek a wife for a kind young man named Isaac. Rebekah was excited about the things she heard about him, and she agreed to go with Eliezer to marry Isaac. They were very happy!
Let’s practice!
Ask your mom and dad how they met.
