“And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.”
So they called Rebekah and asked her: will you go with this man? I will go, she said. The simplicity of the yes — I will go — is one of the great one-line statements of faith in Genesis. The same yes that Abraham gave in Genesis 12:4 is given here by Rebekah: she will leave her country, her people, and her father's household and go to a land she has never seen, to marry a man she has never met, because the LORD has directed it. Ruth 1:16 has the same quality of response: where you go I will go. The application: the I will go of Rebekah is the yes of covenant trust. Is there an I will go that you have been deferring?
