A Part to Play

Rebekah had a part to play; God was faithful.

God had made a promise to Abraham and Sarah about the child they would have, but the promise would not have extended past Isaac if he would not have been married to Rebekah and fathered Israel and the nation from him. The promise was not just that Abraham would be blessed, but that all people would be blessed because of what God was doing. This same message is repeated many times throughout Scripture.

Deuteronomy 7:9 New International Version (NIV)

⁹ Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.

Rebekah had faith to leave her home and marry Isaac at the request of a servant. God's story involved many different people, and it continues to involve many people all over the world.

Rebekah had a part to play, and so do you. God is faithful.
