Rebekah and Isaac

I went to bible study on Monday and we read a passage on Rebekah and Isaac that reminded me of the time when I was walking down the aisle....
Genesis 24: 63-64; "He went out to the field one evening to meditate,[f] and as he looked up, he saw camels approaching. 64 Rebekah also looked up and saw Isaac."

I think it was so sweet that when they both looked up the first thing they saw was each other. It also reminded me that in my marriage I should only have eyes for my husband- just like I did on my wedding day. Nobody else should steal my focus.

Another thing that got our attention is that Isaac had gone to meditate when he looked up and saw Rebekah. He had his focus set on God and then he found his wife. God gave me my husband and if I focus on God I will enjoy my marriage to the full because He is the author - He knows exactly how it should go!

It also amazed me that Rebekah and Isaac experienced what I did on my wedding day - feeling like they were the only two people who existed. They experienced it centuries ago and I experienced it 6 months ago - God's design surely is the same yesterday, today and always!!!!

This post goes out to all those who have experienced that feeling and will always look back on it with fondness. May it remind you that God is in your marriage and His way of doing things is always the best.
