Genesis 24



Sarah has passed away. Isaac is grown up. Abraham is getting older and older. It is time for Isaac to get a wife…So Abraham sent his most trustworthy servant Eliezer back to his relatives to find Isaac a good godly life-partner. She must definitely not be taken from among unbelievers in Yahweh. (V 1-9)
The most loyal and faithful servant prepared and organized his trip to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor very well. He does not forget to pray to God about this most important venture of faith. And God would answer the prayer very promptly. Everything went well. The servant demonstrated wisdom, tact, self-control, courtesy, respectfulness, discipline, seriousness, and faith in his dealing with the family of the chosen bride Rebekah. (V 10-61). The whole process was most successful. God is amazing!

Rebekah and Isaac would become the God-chosen couple who will further the promise of God to Abraham to become the Father of many descendants and a blessing to all nations. (V 62-67)
Let us be always most loyal and faithful unto Our God who directs our path and answers our prayers. He does grant us the desires of our hearts like He did to Abraham, Isaac, and the loyal servant Eliezer through picking the most beautiful kind-hearted Rebekah as bride to Abraham’s miraculously-born son.
