Sunday Short: Adding Value and The Rebekah Rule
Welcome to this week's Sunday Short, where we intertwine biblical teachings with financial wisdom and set a challenge for the week ahead. Today, we explore the story of Rebekah from Genesis 24:10-27 and draw valuable lessons on adding value to others.
In this episode, we discuss how Abraham’s servant sought a spouse for Isaac by looking for someone who would add value. He found Rebekah, who went above and beyond by providing water for him and his camels. This act of kindness and selflessness, which took hours of effort, led to her being chosen as Isaac’s wife. This story illustrates the Rebekah Principle: adding value to others brings blessings.
I dive into four key lessons from Rebekah’s story:
Don't keep score with your giving: Give selflessly without expecting anything in return.
What we will become is what we are becoming now: Start making a positive impact today, rather than waiting for the perfect moment.
Extra blessings come from extra effort: Going the extra mile brings greater rewards.
When we give generously, our impact outlives us: Our acts of generosity can inspire and influence others long after we're gone.
We’ll also discuss how to add value with your finances, focusing on charitable giving. As always, we end with a challenge for the week. Join us for an inspiring and practical discussion on living a life of value and generosity. Share this episode with someone who would benefit from these insights, and let’s make a positive impact together.
