—Genesis 24:45-51
by: Dorothy Noel.
In the servant’s retelling of his first meeting with Rebekah, he left no detail unspoken. His test for God was one of character—not only was he looking for a woman who was of the right family, but also a woman with the character of compassion demonstrated by her willingness to help a stranger. When he saw both these features, he worshiped God and then asked point-blank what Rebekah’s family’s response was. When God answers prayer, may we all praise Him as quickly as the servant, and may we be willing to expect others to respond to God’s work just as quickly.
