Here is this week's daily devotional based on Pastor Travis's sermon covering Genesis 24:29-67. If you haven't heard the sermon yet, you can find it below.
Day 1: The God Who Guides in Ordinary Days
Reading: Genesis 24:1-27
Devotional: God's providence often works quietly in the mundane rhythms of daily life. Abraham's servant didn't experience dramatic miracles, yet God orchestrated every detail—the journey, the timing, the well, the conversation. Like this faithful servant, we're called to trust God's guidance even when His hand seems hidden. Today, reflect on where God may be working behind the scenes in your ordinary moments. Are you attentive to His quiet leading? Consider keeping a journal of small "coincidences" that may actually be divine appointments. Prayer and faithfulness in the everyday prepare us to recognize God's providence when it unfolds.
Day 2: Covenantal Commitment to the Unseen
Reading: Genesis 24:54-58; Hebrews 11:8-16
Devotional: Rebekah's "I will go" echoes Abraham's earlier obedience—both said yes to God's call without seeing the full picture. She agreed to marry a man she'd never met, trusting the God who called her. This is the essence of faith: covenantal commitment to what we cannot yet see. As believers, we're called to follow Christ, our unseen Bridegroom, trusting His promises about our eternal home. What is God calling you to say yes to today? Perhaps it's a relationship, a ministry, or a step of obedience that feels uncertain. Like Rebekah, may your faith respond, "I will go."
Day 3: Worship as Our Response to Providence
Reading: Genesis 24:26-27, 48, 52; Psalm 103:1-5
Devotional: Throughout Genesis 24, Abraham's servant repeatedly bows in worship whenever he recognizes God's hand. He doesn't wait until the mission is complete—every step of providence leads him to praise. This teaches us that worship isn't reserved for mountaintop moments but should punctuate our entire journey. When we see God's faithfulness in answered prayer, unexpected provision, or divine timing, our natural response should be doxological praise. Today, pause to worship God for His faithfulness in your life. What recent evidence of His providence deserves your gratitude? Let every recognition of God's work become an altar of praise.
Day 4: The Spirit Calls, the Bride Responds
Reading: John 16:7-15; Ephesians 1:13-14
Devotional: The servant in Genesis 24 beautifully foreshadows the Holy Spirit's ministry. Just as Abraham sent his servant to call a bride for Isaac, the Father sent the Spirit to call the Church to Christ. The Spirit bears gifts, declares truth, and draws hearts toward the Bridegroom. Like Rebekah, we hear, believe, and respond, "I will go." Our conversion mirrors her journey—leaving the old life, following the messenger of promise, journeying toward a Bridegroom we haven't physically seen. Today, thank God for the Spirit's work in calling you to Christ. How can you cooperate more fully with His ongoing sanctifying work in your life?
Day 5: The Bridegroom Awaits
Reading: Genesis 24:62-67; Revelation 19:6-9
Devotional: Isaac lifted his eyes and saw his bride coming, adorned and led by the faithful servant. One day, Christ will look up and see His church—adorned with grace, robed in His righteousness, and led by the Spirit who never fails. The journey may feel long, and times may grow difficult, but the Bridegroom awaits. Isaac loved Rebekah and brought her into his home; Christ loves His church and is preparing our eternal home. As you face today's challenges, remember: you're on a journey toward your true Bridegroom. How does this future hope change your perspective on present trials? Live today as a beloved bride preparing to meet her faithful Groom.
