An Overnight Change
The young woman was very attractive in appearance, a maiden whom no man had known. She went down to the spring and filled her jar and came up. 17 Then the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water to drink from your jar.” Genesis 24:16-17, ESV
The passage above is about Rebekah, who became Isaac’s wife. She was a maiden in her family’s home. She was carrying out her responsibilities of getting water to take back to her family’s house. This was apart of her daily task. Rebekah had no idea that her life was about to change. She had no idea that God had ordained for her to be a wealthy woman with servants and beautiful pieces of gold and silver jewels. Whatever she desired was waiting for her!
God had made Abraham, Isaac’s father, wealthy and he was giving all of his wealth to his son Isaac. But because Abraham was older, he sent the master of his household on a journey to his relatives home to find a wife for his son Isaac. Rebekah had no idea that when she woke up that morning her life would never be the same again!
When we stay in position and do as God instructs, we do not miss our blessing. When I look back at my dating life, I could have saved myself so many headaches and trouble if I had just trusted God completely with my life. So many times we try to make things work and manipulate a situation to get what we think we want when God already has our desires mapped out.
When God moves it is usually totally unexpected and an overnight change. We just don’t see it coming. Rebekah did not see Isaac coming. Esther did not see becoming a queen coming. Mary did not see becoming the mother of Jesus. David did not see becoming the king of Israel and Moses certainly did not see leading his people of Israel out of Egypt. What am I saying? You cannot always see God’s hand moving, but he is always working on your behalf. He does what seems to us like an overnight change, but for him it was always in the plan. I want to encourage you to stay the course and get to ready for an overnight change!
