Missed another day yesterday, but still did my Bible study. If I'm honest, I am losing a bit of the desire to write the blog, but I keep telling myself it's a good place to record things,and a valuable site if only for me!
OK, Genesis 24. Here we see a couple of really nice examples of generosity. First off, there's Rebekah, who not only drew water from the well but also offered to 'Draw water for your camels too' (Gen 24:19). This would have required a lot more work, but ultimately God used this as a sign that Rebekah was the woman for Jacob. I guess the message is treat everyone well, and in the meantime you could well be entertaining God's annointed. Either way, you'll reap a reward.
The same thing is seen later in the chapter. Rebekah's generosity continues in verse 25, where she tells the servant "we have plenty of straw and fodder, as well as room for you to spend the night". This above and beyond generosity is such a good example, and a continuation of the theme from a couple of days ago. God calls us to be generous.

Keep with it, follow the blogs of other people, then their followers will click your link and those who read it will grow exponentially - your blog directs me to read with you, to reflect with you - this may be what you are meant to do? and that's not your choice, is it?
