Genesis 24:1-27

"Swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and earth, that you will not allow my son to marry one of these local Canaanite women. Go instead to my homeland, to my relatives, and find a wife there for my son Isaac."v3-4

Have you ever been given a task that had a lot riding on it? Abraham has just asked a servant to find a wife for Isaac. Now remember that God has promised to bless Abraham and his descendants, so there is a lot on the line here in who he chooses.

After traveling and a short honest prayer, the servant ask God to for help. He specifically prays in the direction of finding a woman that has a servants heart. Not only did Rebekah have a servants heart, she was beautiful!

When was the last time you asked God for help and His answer blew you away by His goodness? I believe the servant here has just experienced the goodness that God provides for those that are obedient to Him.
