The story of Abraham’s servant is a special one. Abraham sent him and said, an angel will go before you. This man has been with Abraham longer than anyone else, but still didn’t really believe what God would do. If it were a typical story, God would have told the servant, “When you get there, you’ll see a young woman drawing water, and she’ll offer to draw some for your camels too. That’s her!” But that’s not what happened. The servant didn’t believe, so he tested God by saying, ok make it go down like this and if it does, I’ll know it’s you. Instead of being irritated by this test, God obliged him. And behold, he came to faith in God! I think that’s the really beautiful part of this whole story, even more than Rebekah’s coming to Isaac.
Wow! What would that be like to be Rebekah? Not ten days to say goodbye to your family, and then leaving to marry a man you had never met. Her display of trust in God was great.

Love when Jesus said “ As long as I am in the world I will be the light”.
We need to be the light just as Jesus was.
God will always go before us, like He did with the servant.
Spend time in His word so we can see and not be blind to the things of the spirit
The love between Isaac and Rebecca is sweet
Lord, I believe
