“27. And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master’s brethren. 40. And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house:”
The servant of Abraham has been sent to Abraham’s home land to find a wife for Isaac. Going to a foreign country to find a wife can be quite a journey, but remember the Bible says with God all things are possible. Have you ever answered the call to God’s journey for your life? Maybe today you are in the center of the journey but not sure what to do. The journey can become weary at times, but know that God is always faithful. In verse 40 there are 4 words to focus on today, “and prosper thy way”. One thing about this servant is that he has observed God’s faithfulness to Abraham’s life even though Abraham made some bad decisions. This servant is in great need of God’s guidance, and so he asks God to be very direct with finding the right wife for Isaac. As he is at the well, he asks God that if one of the women that come to the well, offers not just himself a drink, but also his camel’s, it would be evidence that she was the one. In verse 40 everything happened just as God directed him and he is now relaying the story to the family of Rebekah, who is of the kindred of Abraham. One thing that was certain in the story is that God was very direct and again and again God has shown his faithfulness, because the way of the servant was a prosperous one. Many Christians today are not living a prosperous journey because they are not trusting God every step of the way. Joshua 1:8 “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” Do your best to not make bad decisions through your journeys of the Christian walk. What happens is that the journey becomes weary and the skies become cloudy, but know, that is the devil trying to hinder your way. God is very direct! Don’t make any decision unless you know God is telling you to step a certain direction. Your way will be prosperous! Your way will have much success, if you will listen to the leading of the Holy Spirit. God never sends us on journeys to fail, but He does allow affliction to see if we truly will trust Him in all things. How is your walk today? Are you reading your Bible day and night? Are you allowing God to direct your decisions in the ministry He has called you to? The land of Canaan to Ur of the Chaldees was a long journey. Not knowing exactly where to go was even tougher, but God showed his faithfulness and the servant returned with Rebekah. Your way will be prosperous! Keep trusting and leaning on Him!!
