MEDITATION
Genesis 24:45-48
45 “But before I had finished speaking in my heart, there was Rebekah, coming out with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down to the well and drew water. And I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’
46 And she made haste and let her pitcher down from her shoulder, and said, ‘Drink, and I will give your camels a drink also.’ So I drank, and she gave the camels a drink also.
47 Then I asked her, and said, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ And she said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him.’ So I put the nose ring on her nose and the bracelets on her wrists.
48 And I bowed my head and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the way of truth to take the daughter of my master’s brother for his son.

沉思
《创世记 24:45-48》
45我心里的话还没有说完,利百加就出来,肩头上扛着水瓶,下到井旁打水。我便对她说:‘请你给我水喝。’
46她就急忙从肩头上拿下瓶来,说:‘请喝,我也给你的骆驼喝。’我便喝了,她又给我的骆驼喝了。
47我问她说:‘你是谁的女儿?’她说:‘我是密迦与拿鹤之子彼土利的女儿。’我就把环子戴在她鼻子上,把镯子戴在她两手上。48随后我低头向耶和华下拜,称颂耶和华我主人亚伯拉罕的神,因为他引导我走合适的道路,使我得着我主人兄弟的孙女,给我主人的儿子为妻。
