The Oak of Weeping

Deborah is witness to the marriage of her lifelong friend-the beautiful and adventurous young Rebekah-to her forty-year-old cousin, Isaac. The Bible assures us that Isaac loved Rebekah; Isaac's eyes never wandered though Rebekah remained barren for twenty years before God fulfilled His promise of twin sons. But even that promise came with a prophecy that put Rebekah at odds with her husband... but never at odds with Deborah. For all their lives, Isaac, Rebekah, and Deborah were companions and faithful servants to the Lord. They tried to live as God called them to and their story is a testament to the call to love our neighbor.
