God had established the route of man back to Him. Through Abraham He announced that without faith it would be impossible to please Him. But He was yet to establish the means that His will would be accomplished in the earth. He needed a man to continue the process. Not a man like Abraham whom God had so wonderfully shown his eternal home and given the glorious promises, but a man in need of God to direct his path toward those promises. A man, though not perfect, through whom God would establish a people and start the wonderful process of reconciliation. The selection was prenatal in nature. And the mother wondered about it .God gave her information. One son would be selected over the other for the particular destiny.
"Mrs. Morel instinctively knows that Paul will become famous and known. More importantly, she feels that her destiny will be carried out through Paul."
Book Notes on Sons and Lovers by D.H. Lawrence
Most mothers wonder about the futures of their sons and many do everything in their power to foster that future. We find Rebecca doing the same thing. During this season, she can be contrasted to another mother who gave birth to a son, a very special Son indeed.
"she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger"
Luke 2:7
"But Mary treasured all these things, pondering them in her heart"
Luke 2:19
Now we are called to treasure Him and ponder His goodness and light.
"Said the NIGHT WIND to the little lamb
Do you see what I see....
Said the LAMB to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear....
Said the SHEPHERD BOY to the mighty king
Do you know what I know?
Said the KING to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace people every where
Listen to what I say
The child, the child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light."
Do you Hear What I Hear?
Whatsoever goodness and light you have received this season be sure and pass it on.
