Sent with a Purpose
Genesis 24: 34 So he said, “I am Abraham’s
servant. 35 The Lord has blessed my
master greatly, and he has become great; and He has given him flocks and herds,
silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys. 36 And
Sarah my master’s wife bore a son to my master when she was old;
and to him he has given all that he has. 37 Now
my master made me swear, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son
from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell; 38 but
you shall go to my father’s house and to my family, and take a wife for my
son.’ 39 And I said to my master, ‘Perhaps the
woman will not follow me.’ 40 But he said to me,
‘The Lord, before whom I walk, will send His angel with you
and prosper your way; and you shall take a wife for my son from my family
and from my father’s house. 41 You will be clear
from this oath when you arrive among my family; for if they will not give her to
you, then you will be released from my oath.’
============
Abraham’s servant explained why he was there. He explained
Abraham’s wealth and relationship to the family. He then told everyone that he
was sent with a purpose whether Rebekah came with him or not.
My Observations:
- Abraham’s
servant provided the context of why he was there.
- Only
the HOLY SPIRIT could orchestrate the story Abraham’s servant told.
- Abraham’s
servant made it clear that he had nothing to gain, rather he was sent with
a purpose.
Showing up as a stranger and asking for Rebekah to just up
and leave was a far-fetched request. Abraham’s servant knew this would be a
difficult ask, but he wanted the best for Abraham. He explained everything
without embellishing. The facts were strange so if Rebekah agreed to go, it was
meant to be.
Abraham’s servant even explained his conversation with
Abraham. He said to Abraham “Perhaps the woman will not follow me.” Abraham
then explained how the HOLY SPIRIT “before who I walk” would be with him and
prosper his way. GOD still does this. The HOLY SPIRIT clears the way for you
and me to prosper in HIS purpose.
Challenge
- Why
did GOD include Abraham’s servant’s synopsis of the situation?
- What
is the purpose GOD has given to you?
- Are
you ready for purpose that will be prospered by the HOLY SPIRIT?
