Today we ask Rebekah to join us in the race of life to give us insight
about our life with God. Rebekah would say to us:
“Little did I realize how a
simple act of generosity would change my life and the lives of so many other
people. Little did I know that my
actions were the answer to a servant’s prayer and the plan of my sovereign God.
All I did was what I felt I should do. You must do the same: Give generously to others.”
We begin with a welcome and call to prayer! We continue to stand in the presence of the Lord as we sing heart felt songs of worship:
A new version we premier this weekend that I believe will become a favorite of our church family to sing often:
We plan to greet one another and then join our hearts in prayer....
We sing of God's unfailing love toward us...
We share about the opportunities to serve the Lord and to fellowship together.
With hearts of gratitude we bring our financial gifts to the Lord in worship.
Then
he prayed, “O LORD, God of my master Abraham, give me success today, and show
kindness to my master Abraham. See, I am standing beside this spring, and the
daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water.
May it be that when I say to a girl, ‘Please let down your jar that I may have a drink,’ and she says, ‘Drink, and I'll water your camels too’--let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master.”
Before he had finished praying, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder. Genesis 24:12-15
