I love seeing examples of righteous women in the scriptures.
Women who are named and who do things and work to draw closer to the Lord.
The Old Testament is a unique book of scriptures because we do actually get quite a few beautiful, powerful examples of righteous women.
And side note: If you want to dive into this topic even more, listen the interview we did with Amy Fisher called “Women in the Old Testament”. It was episode 614 of the One Minute Scripture Study podcast.
I have loved studying Rebekah this week.
She gives me so many attributes to look up to, and one that I want to mention is found in Genesis 25:22.
Rebekah was finally pregnant, after years of dealing with infertility.
But she was pregnant with twins, and she could feel the struggle of these two babies within her womb as she carried them.
And so what did she do?
“She went to inquire of the Lord”. (Genesis 25:22)
I love this powerful yet simple reminder from Rebekah that when we have questions, we can take them straight to the Lord.
And I especially relate to her as a very pregnant woman myself right now, who has questions about the future.
We can ask, and then we can receive answers.
Have you inquired of the Lord recently?
Happy Studying!

I am so disappointed in the manual. With Eliazer (so) and Rebekah showing such faith in getting direct revelation and help, all they focus on is they got married. Big deal. But you have a slave and woman getting personal revelation. So much more important!
I love that they received revelation too!
