Genesis 24 - Isaac and Rebekah
Can you imagine? I have a hard time imagining - comprehending - this kind of total confidence in the Lord's will and directing of circumstances that we find in the search for a bride for Isaac.
The servant prays for a sign and gives God instruction as to what he will accept as a sign. The Lord gives him that sign and everyone just accepts that it is the Lord's will that Rebekah will be Isaac's bride. I am glad to see though, that in spite of all the talk of money and wealth someone actually asked Rebekah if she wanted to go with the servant to become Isaac's wife.
If only we could have the confidence in God that Abraham's servant had. How much easier would life be if we could go where we are sent and do those things that God would have us do! If we would only listen!
Speaking of listening - his word is spoken every Sunday in every congregation (at least in the scripture readings) that I know. Faith comes by hearing that word. How will you know God's Word - his will for you - if you do not listen?
