Topic: Act Of Kindness
Text: Genesis 24:10-20
10And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
12And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.
13Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
14And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.
15And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
16And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
17And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.
18And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
19And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
20And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.

Message
When the time had come for Isaac to get married, Abraham his father sent his servant to go to the land where he was born to find a wife for his son. Abraham’s servant knew that the task he had been given was too big for him to do by himself. When he finally reached the country where Abraham had been born, he prayed to God for divine direction. Before he had even finished praying, a beautiful woman called Rebekah came along and he asked her for a drink. She lowered her jar and gave him and his camels drink. She went back to draw more water until all the camels had enough to drink. Then the servant knew that this woman was the one God had chosen.

The Bible encourages us to be kind to others. Every kind and helpful action shows the love of Jesus working in our hearts. Unfortunately, some people take advantage of the kindness they receive from others. Some bad people may use a child’s kindness as a trap to get something else they want. God sees your willing heart. If you would like to help a person you don’t know, ask your parents to show you the best way to help the person. In this way you can still do good to those who need help, but in a way that is safe and keeps you free to serve God joyfully through your kind and helpful deed.
Further Reading: Galatians 6:9,10
Prayer for today: Lord, help and direct me to offer acts of kindness to others.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
