This week, we explore what it means to respond to God from the heart and to offer ourselves in pure devotion and blessing. In Genesis 24:45, we find the servant praying silently, offering a profound reminder that God hears the quietest prayers of our hearts. The servant’s experience shows us the power of inward prayers, as God answers with exact guidance, confirming the mission by bringing Rebekah to the well.
This sermon calls us to three responses: First, to commune with God in authentic, heart-led prayer. We see how prayer isn’t always about spoken words but about sincerity, as seen with Hannah in 1 Samuel, who prayed with only her lips moving, yet God heard her anguish and answered. Second, we’re encouraged to bless others from a place of genuine love, as Rebekah’s family did when they sent her with words of support and a bright future. Lastly, we’re called to meditate—like Isaac did—quieting our busy minds to truly focus on God.
Reflecting on God’s work in our lives, we find inspiration to strengthen our spiritual habits: pray sincerely, bless generously, and seek stillness with God.
