One would be tempted to ignore the story about Rebecca. After all the most common traits we see running through her story are deceit and her strong willed nature. She was a hard worker, a tribe matriarch and an ambitious women.
Although women have grown in business stature and knowledge, there is always a tendency to still respect stronger male role models than women. The one fact that is overlooked in her story is that she sought God's council and God clearly told her in Numbers 12 that the younger son was to be the future leader.
Women are by nature more sensitive, which affords them the opportunity to hear the Holy Spirit clearly. Proverbs 31 tells us that a women who fears the Lord is to be praised. We should never forget to honour our female leaders.
