THE CONFIRMATION!

THE CONFIRMATION!

 

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! The name Rebekah is of Hebrew origin and means “to tie firmly.”

 

          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
