Genesis chapter reviews:
23: Sarah dies and is buried
24: Isaac meets and marries Rebekah
25: Abraham dies/Jacob and Esau are born
26: God's hand is upon Isaac
There was an interesting reference 24:45. Abraham's servant says that when he was "praying in my heart" is the moment he saw Rebekah. I thought this was interesting because it shows us from the beginning of Scripture that silent prayer, much like we practice today, was defined as 'prayer' in the Bible. There are other references to prayer as it is practiced in other numerous ways in the Bible, but we see here that silent prayer is included in the Bible's definition of prayer.
The next few days will be readings focused on the life of Jacob, Isaac's younger twin son.
I will be writing a review quiz that I will be posting this weekend.
