1. Rebekah’s attitude in drawing water for the servant and the camels revealed diligence and a willingness to serve. Thanks be to the Lord, we see this same attitude in the churches, in colporteurs, and in the brothers and sisters who serve: they are not lazy or negligent, but diligent. Let us all be helpful, ready to give people a drink (Genesis 24:15-20; Romans 12:11).
2. Rebekah’s nose ring and bracelets were made of gold, symbolizing God’s holy life. As the church, the bride of Christ, we must commit ourselves to living His holy life. Our hands no longer serve the world, but the living God. The nose ring indicates this, on our path, we are not guided by ourselves, but by divine life (Genesis 24:47; Romans 6:19).
3. From now on, I, like Rebekah, commit myself to being the bride of Christ, to follow only the direction that life indicates, and to use my hands to serve the True God. Then, on that day, we will participate in the wedding feast of the Lamb, the greatest wedding feast in the universe, which will last a thousand years (Ephesians 5:31-32; Revelation 19:7-8).
4. “Noah did everything as God had commanded. This model of hearing God’s word and obeying immediately is the path to prosperity for every man […] This attitude teaches us something fundamental: we must be simple before the Lord, keeping a pure heart. When we walk with God, He speaks to us, and whatever He says we must do promptly” (Ex 19:5; Dt 6:6-7) (Daily Food, book 5, week 1, Sunday, p. 21).
