In 2022, it was estimated that people in the United States spent an average of $164.76 on Valentine’s Day purchases. That’s a lot of money spent on flowers, candy, and fancy dinners!
God’s promise to make Abraham’s family as many as the stars could only be fulfilled if Isaac had a wife, but not just any wife. She needed to be from the homeland of Abraham and had to agree to move to the land where Isaac lived. This would be a tough search, but God provided.
The servant who went to search for a wife found a woman named Rebekah. God made Rebekah to be the perfect match for Isaac. God showed the servant that Rebekah was who should marry Isaac, so the servant gave her many gifts to show how much she would be loved and cared for by Isaac.
God always keeps His promises. He kept His promise to Abraham by giving Rebekah as a wife to Isaac. But in an even greater way, God shows us His faithfulness by sending Jesus as the One who would love us and give His life to save us from our sin.
God was faithful to provide a wife for Isaac. Abraham’s servant brought back Rebekah so Isaac could know and love her. God sent His servant—Jesus—to seek and save people from sin and death. Jesus was faithful. He died and rose again so that people could know and love Him.
