Rebekah – Saying Yes to the Unknown

4

Morning Girls 🌸 I treasure this quiet time in front of the computer, thinking of each of you. Your joys, your scars, your hopes and dreams. We all bleed red, and even the smallest hurt still hurts.

But today, my heart is drawn to something deeper: our faithfulness. The way we serve our Dad “not for applause, not for recognition” but because we love Him. We wait, we trust, we follow, even when the path is hidden.

You remind me of Rebekah. She wasn’t trying to be seen. She was just kind. Just generous. And that simple act opened the door to something divine.

So this blog is for you and me a reminder that in the quiet serving we can still know that we count.

She didn’t know she was being watched.
She didn’t know her kindness would change history.
She was simply doing what came naturally, serving, helping, pouring water for a stranger and his camels.

Rebekah wasn’t trying to impress anyone. She was just generous. And that generosity opened the door to a divine appointment.

“She quickly lowered her jar to her hands and gave him a drink.”

– Genesis 24:18

That stranger was Abraham’s servant, sent to find a wife for Isaac. And Rebekah’s simple act of hospitality became the sign he had prayed for.

Later, when asked if she would leave her home and family to marry a man she’d never met, Rebekah didn’t hesitate.

“So they called Rebekah and asked her, ‘Will you go with this man?’ And she said, ‘I will go.’”

– Genesis 24:58

Three words. Brave words. Words that changed her life.

Biblical Facts About Rebekah

  • Rebekah was the granddaughter of Nahor, Abraham’s brother (Genesis 22:20–23).
  • She was chosen by God through a specific prayer for kindness and hospitality (Genesis 24:12–14).
  • She became the mother of Jacob and Esau, and her story continued through the lineage of Israel.
  • Though she later struggled with favouritism and family tension, her early faith and obedience were remarkable.

What Rebekah Means for Us Today

Sometimes, destiny doesn’t come with fireworks.
Sometimes, it comes with a jar of water and a willing heart.

Rebekah reminds us that our “yes” matters. That God sees the way we serve when no one’s watching. That the ordinary can be holy.

You may be pouring out for others – at home, at work, in ministry, and wondering if it’s making a difference. You may be facing a decision that feels unfamiliar, even risky.

Rebekah’s story whispers: Say yes.

God often leads us by faith, not sight. He doesn’t always give us the full picture. But He gives us peace, and He honours obedience.

Life Application

Be ready to say yes.

Even when it’s uncomfortable.
Even when it doesn’t make sense.
Even when it means leaving behind what’s familiar.

Your “yes” might be the beginning of something sacred.
Your kindness might be the answer to someone’s prayer.
Your obedience might be the thread God uses to weave a bigger story.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”

– Proverbs 3:5

You don’t have to see the whole road. You just have to take the first step.

And when you do, heaven moves.

Prayer: Saying Yes to the Unknown

Dear Hevenly Father,
You are the Author of every divine appointment.
You see the quiet acts of kindness, the unnoticed service, the moments when we choose to give even when no one is watching.

Thank You for Rebekah,
for her generous heart,
for her willingness to go,
for her courage to say yes to the unfamiliar.

Today, I bring You my own jar of water.
My ordinary offerings.
My small acts of faithfulness.
And I ask You to breathe purpose into them.

Give me the courage to say “I will go”
even when I don’t know where the road leads.
Even when the path feels uncertain.
Even when the next step requires surrender.

Let me trust that You are guiding me,
that my “yes” matters,
and that obedience opens doors I cannot yet see.

Help me serve with joy,
walk with faith,
and follow You with a heart that’s ready.

Because You are faithful.
And You never waste a willing spirit.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
