Rebeka's journey to meet Isaac is an inspiring lesson in devotion to the unseen.
Although she had never seen Isaac, Rebeka willingly separated from her family for life.
There was no courtship, no trial period And no way home!
1000 miles on camel stood between her decision to marry and her family. Rebeka embarked on one of the roughest journeys a bride could ever face, involving weeks of camelback travel over harsh desert terrain.
All of her endurance was based upon the mere description of Isaac by the servant..... No wonder Isaac's heart was filled with love for this bride when he saw the camels approaching (Genesis 24:63)!
In The Same Way, Jesus is looking for his bride. He is looking for a church willing to separate forever from its family and follow after Him!
His church must be able to endure hardship on its journey over the desert of life.
The church presses on towards heaven with one motive: devotion to Jesus!
Get on your camel one more day, for this may be the day you see your long – awaited bridegroom!
