Genesis 24: 26 The man bowed his head and worshiped the Lord 27 and said, “Blessed be the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his steadfast love and his faithfulness toward my master. As for me, the Lord has led me in the way to the house of my master's kinsmen.” 28 Then the young woman ran and told her mother's household about these things.
Besides directing people of promise in where they should go, another interesting thread throughout scripture is how God brings together husband and wife. Abraham had sent his servant to a distant country to find and bring back a wife for his son. I do not envy that servant. It is no small thing for a man and his family to be able to choose wisely, let alone someone else. Fortunately, this servant had learned to not "lean on his own understanding," but to seek and trust God to lead him to the right woman. God had a plan, a wife in mind and in store for Isaac, and He had a way to bring them together. The key is to always let Him arrange the time, way, and method.
