The NIV 365 Day Devotional

Character

18 “Drink, my lord,” she said, and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave him a drink.

19 After she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have had enough to drink.” 20 So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the well to draw more water, and drew enough for all his camels. 21 Without saying a word, the man watched her closely to learn whether or not the Lord had made his journey successful.

Genesis 24:18-21

You can learn a lot about another person just by watching how they live everyday life. That’s because actions speak volumes about the heart that’s motivating them. Rebekah’s actions spoke of her heart of service and humility, of her kind and hard-working spirit. What do your actions say about you? Do the people at the grocery store, the gas station or the gym see someone of integrity and character? Do your family, friends and coworkers see someone who’s living for Christ in the little things? And if they don’t—why not?
