The Story of Isaac and Rebekah

Genesis 24 tells the story of how God provided a wife for Isaac. In contrast with some of the extraordinary stories chronicling Abraham’s journey of faith, the story of Isaac and Rebekah appears very ordinary. It is a story, much like our everyday life that doesn’t feel epic or exciting, but with careful reflection and attention, we see in it the gracious providence of God at work. As we begin to see God’s hidden providence at work in this story we are reminded that God alone is our sovereign sustainer.
