Feel free to use this section to share whatever your questions, thoughts, insights, etc. are regarding the text in Genesis we are pondering this week.
In reading I noticed that Rebekah inquired of the Lord when she was pregnant and the Lord answered to her. I love that she had her own relationship with God apart from the revelation that came through her husband.
And then, I also wonder what she did with the information told her (two nations will come from your womb and the older will serve the younger) and how much that influenced her in the manipulation of her family dynamic that we see later. Her manipulation ended up making her lose her youngest son. When God reveals something to us, it seems to be of utmost importance that we continue to wait on him for the full unfolding of his plan and not rush it to get to the conclusion, making a mess in the process.
This seems to be a common theme in Genesis – Do we trust God enough with HIs promises to allow Him to make them happen. Or…do we try to manipulate people and circumstances so we have control of HOW God’s promises come true.
