When Abraham sent his servant to fetch a wife for his son Isaac from the land of his birth, the servant who was sent, was faithful to pray to GOD about his mission.
Indeed, when the man stood at the well, he prayed to GOD. And he asked GOD to give him a sign. The first woman who drew water for him and for his camels, would be the one that GOD had chosen to marry Isaac.
This is such a profound lesson. When we pray, we need to be specific and identify exactly what we are praying for. And if it within the will of GOD's plan, then GOD will always answer us.
Not only did GOD answer this man, but GOD also put it into Rebekah's heart that she would go with this stranger and marry a man that she had never met.
Rebekah's family wanted her to remain with them for a few days to get used to the idea that she was about to travel far and marry a stranger. But GOD put it into her heart to go with the stranger.
When we have prayed about something, we need to leave the rest to GOD. If it is GOD's will, GOD will lead the way and soften peoples hearts to follow the plan. This story is truly a remarkable Bible story about the faith of strangers in GOD's plans for their lives.
The outcome of this story is even more remarkable. Rebekah and Isaac met and were married and Isaac loved Rebekah. From them came the nation of Israel. Without this love and trust in the pure love of GOD, this could not have happened.
Prayer; Heavenly FATHER, help me to offer my prayers to fit into YOUR perfect will. May YOUR will always be done, on earth, in my life as it is in Heaven. I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay faithfully GOD blessed today!
