Genesis 24-26
In Genesis 24, a tale of love unfolds,
As Abraham seeks a wife, divinely foretold.
For his son Isaac, a bride must be found,
To continue the covenant, on sacred ground.
Abraham's servant, devoted and true,
Embarks on a journey with a mission to pursue.
At a well in Nahor, he prays to the Lord,
To show him a sign, a woman faith-filled and adored.
Rebekah appears, her kindness shines bright,
Drawing water for strangers, with love in her light.
The servant, in awe, gives thanks to the Lord,
For guiding his steps and answering his chord.
Rebekah is chosen, a woman of grace,
She agrees to go with the servant and embrace,
A future with Isaac, a union destined to be,
A testament of God's faithfulness, for all to see.
In Genesis 25, new chapters begin,
As Abraham passes, and Isaac steps in.
Twins are born, Jacob and Esau their names,
A tale of brothers, with distinct destinies and aims.
Esau, a hunter, favored by his father,
Jacob, a quiet man, longing for grandeur.
A birthright exchanged, in a moment of hunger,
An impulsive act, consequences that thunder.
In Genesis 26, a story of Isaac's journey,
Famine strikes the land, causing worry.
Isaac, obedient, heeds God's command,
To stay in the land, where promise will stand.
In Gerar, Isaac encounters strife,
His wife Rebekah becomes the object of desire.
Abimelech, the king, fears God's wrath,
And warns his people to avoid Isaac's path.
In wells of contention, Isaac finds solace,
Digging new ones, a symbol of hope's embrace.
God blesses him abundantly, despite the challenge,
For Isaac's faith endures, unwavering and gallant.
Reflect, my friend, on these stirring accounts,
The lessons they teach, the wisdom they pronounce.
In love and obedience, blessings are found,
In trials and choices, God's guidance surrounds.
