Genesis 24:26 Then the man bowed down and worshiped the Lord,
I love a good analogy, and commentary contains a great analogy about verse 27, where the servant says that he was already in motion (one version says “on the way”) when God led him to Rebekah: “It is hard to steer a parked car.”
Genesis 24:27 saying, “Praise be to the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has not abandoned his kindness and faithfulness to my master. As for me, the Lord has led me on the journey to the house of my master’s relatives.”
If we want God to use us, we have to be “on the way,” so that all He has to do is steer us while we are in motion. I really think that ties in perfectly with seeking, seeing, questioning, asking, investigating to try to discern God’s will in any given situation. If we are on the move, trying to see where He is leading us, trying to see if we are going in the right direction, He can nudge us any way He needs.
Genesis 24:28 The young woman ran and told her mother’s household about these things.
Precious Savior, You know I love a good analogy. Thank You for putting this one on my radar this morning. Thank You that I can so clearly see what You need of me–to move, to seek, to investigate–so that You can guide me to where I can be Your hands and feet. Help me, always, to find You, to shine Your light. Amen.
Genesis 24:29 Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he hurried out to the man at the spring.
Have a blessed day.
