THE
JOURNEY!
Gen 24:20-21
20
And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the
well to draw water, and drew for all his
camels.
21
And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not.
Given
the task of finding a wife for Isaac, this un-named senior servant took his
journey without knowing when, where, or how God would confirm His choice. He
offered God some assistance by suggesting that the young lady draw water for
his camels. When Rebekah did exactly that it nearly paralyzed him with wonder!
Adam
Clarke makes this comment: “And he was so lost in wonder and astonishment at
her simplicity, innocence, and benevolence, that he permitted this delicate
female to draw water for ten camels,
without ever attempting to afford her any kind of assistance! I know not which
to admire most, the benevolence and condescension of Rebekah, or the cold and
apparently stupid indifference of the servant of Abraham. Surely they are both
of an uncommon cast.”
If
you are on an uncertain journey of obedience, expect God to wondrously
confirm His choices for your direction. Sometimes there is a fine line between
the divine and the weird.
Dear
Lord, confirm your guidance of those who are waiting for direction. AMEN
