創世記24:62-67

24:62 那時，以撒住在南地，剛從庇耳‧拉海‧萊回來。
24:63 天將晚，以撒出來在田間默想，舉目一看，見來了些駱駝。
24:64 利百加舉目看見以撒，就急忙下了駱駝，
24:65 問那僕人說：「這田間走來迎接我們的是誰？」僕人說：「是我的主人。」利百加就拿帕子蒙上臉。
24:66 僕人就將所辦的一切事都告訴以撒。
24:67 以撒便領利百加進了他母親撒拉的帳棚，娶了她為妻，並且愛她。以撒自從他母親不在了，這才得了安慰。

⁶² Now Isaac had come from Beer Lahai Roi, for he was living in the Negev. ⁶³ He went out to the field one evening to meditate,^[f] and as he looked up, he saw camels approaching. ⁶⁴ Rebekah also looked up and saw Isaac. She got down from her camel ⁶⁵ and asked the servant, “Who is that man in the field coming to meet us?”
“He is my master,” the servant answered. So she took her veil and covered herself.
⁶⁶ Then the servant told Isaac all he had done. ⁶⁷ Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah, and he married Rebekah. So she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.

    有人用這段經文勉勵弟兄們，只要好好親近上帝，上帝一定會為你預備好另一半，不要著急得去要找對象。

    這樣的勸勉是好的，因為我們不知將來如何，我們要相信上帝的帶領，不要受到情慾的影響而意亂情迷，隨便找結婚的對象，導致後來後悔萬分！所以，我們寧可保持理性，也不可以被愛情沖昏頭！

    上帝所配合的是最好的，正如這裡所說的：「以撒便領利百加進了他母親撒拉的帳棚，娶了她為妻，並且愛她。以撒自從他母親不在了，這才得了安慰。」

    是的，好的婚姻對象，可以讓我們心裡得安慰，會對上帝充滿感謝，會覺得人生很有意義喔！
