Genesis Ch 24


Two characters in this chapter – Abraham’s servant(Eliezer), Rebekah 
1. Getting Gods help in life tasks and praising God after successful accomplishment by God
2. Hard working, obeying Gods call to be her masters wife

Abraham’s servant (Eliezer):
# Learned to fear and take of God for all his tasks from his master Abraham
# Step by step he is taking help from God and praising God. These two things (seeking help & Praising God)are inevitable in Abraham servants journey.
@ before starting his journey he had Gods help, the Angel– V7; praising in V12
@ before meeting the Girl, he sought God’s help through signs – V12; praising in V26,27; praising before Laban by sharing testimony(Entire event) in V34-49
@ after he got permission from Laban Eliezer praised God again for giving success his mission– V52
Rebeka - a role model for a wife whom God chooses for his people
# the girl whom God chosen for Isaac. God enabled her to do the same way what Eliezer had prayed for the qualities his master’s son should have
 # Rebekah is a hardworking women and willing to serve others in need (thirst), more than expected– V18 # She hospitality mind, and had invited the guests
 # she was obedient to obey Gods will without delay, i.e to leave her family and go to her husband with Eliezer
# She is humble girl- she got down from Camel and covered her face and
# She was a comfort to her husband- every wife should be a comfort to her husband’s replacing the love of her husband’s mother. Mother cares children, cooks for them and serves, same manner a wife should take care of her husband by being a comfort.

By Gods grace


All human beings are Gods creatures and part of His body. When I say body, we can think about our physical body.Physical body has different parts and has different functions. It also have veins, blood flow, water, sweat, and waste. 1 Body (Structure) 2. Different parts 3. Appearances and strengths 4. Things that make body alive. Such as water, blood... 5. Waste that goes out of our body Paul says in 1 Cor 12:12-28 "The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. 13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body — whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free — and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 14 Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. 15 If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body. 21 The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. 27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. NIV If we think deeply, the hidden things will surprise us. The human body, earth, universe...all look in and particles of one great body of our great God. God will reveal at the day of Judgement
