You probably remember from Old Testament stories that Rebekah was at a well, when a servant of Abraham, asked her to follow him. She believed the messenger was sent by God and agreed to follow him.  She ends up being introduced to Issac, they marry and she conceived twins. The twins were Esau and Jacob.  A prophecy was told to Issac and Rebecca saying that the oldest son would serve the youngest. Conniving with Jacob’s help, Rebekah deceived Issac, then Jacob received what inheritance was traditionally meant for Esau. Rebekah, though a godly woman, still was deceitful and fell short.

Are you like Rebekah? Do we slip and fall short of a God-like life? Have you gossiped? Did you covet something/or someone? Have you told a “little white lie?” Yep, we have all fallen short because we are human and sinners. How blessed are we to know Jesus! God sent His Son to us on Earth and Jesus followed the plan God had prepared for Him, ending with a horrific crucifixion.  Why?  He died for our sins to save us. WOW!  Isn’t that amazing news? His death was for YOU!

We as believers, like Rebekah, will continue to have short-comings but as we grow in the Lord we realize, we can ask for His forgiveness.  We will learn from God the paths to take and ways to warmly accept His unconditional love for us.

Share the good news of Jesus. Trust Him. Build your mustard-seed faith with His Word. Healing and forgiveness are gifts He longs to give us.
