Spiritual Purpose Orchestrated
Genesis 24: 5 And the servant said to him, “Perhaps the
woman will not be willing to follow me to this land. Must I take your son back
to the land from which you came?”
6 But
Abraham said to him, “Beware that you do not take my son back there. 7 The Lord God
of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and from the land of my
family, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, ‘To your descendants
I give this land,’ He will send His angel before you, and you shall take a
wife for my son from there. 8 And if the woman is
not willing to follow you, then you will be released from this oath; only
do not take my son back there.” 9 So the servant
put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning
this matter.
Abraham’s servant
asked for clarification regarding Isaac. He wondered if he should take Isaac
with him to live in the land where Abraham grew up. Abraham said “no” and gave
an explanation of how things would happen.
My Observations:
- When GOD created the heaven and the earth, the HOLY SPIRIT hovered over the water.
- When GOD created humans, HE said Let “US” make man in “OUR” own image.
- When GOD was about to tear down the Tower of Babel, HE said let “US” go down and confuse their language.
Abraham must have
seen the “US” part of GOD in action. I believe when Abraham said that GOD would
send “HIS angel” before you, he may have been referring to the HOLY SPIRIT. I
believe JESUS walked in the Garden of Eden and spoke with Noah. I also believe
that JESUS and the HOLY SPIRIT appeared together somehow.
It makes sense to
me that this is the HOLY SPIRIT because the situation needed to be
orchestrated, requiring multiple people to be guided. Up to this point, we have
only seen angels appear with JESUS and only having information that was given
to them. They discovered information as they helped Lot out the city. BUT the
HOLY SPIRIT would know exactly what to do to guide the situation into the
promise of GOD.
Challenge
- Why does GOD tell Moses about the conclusion Abraham had regarding sending his servant to find a wife for Isaac?
- Has GOD told you something would happen and you need the HOLY SPIRIT to orchestrate the situation?
- Will you seek the leading of the HOLY SPIRIT so HE will guide you to be part of someone else’s growth or salvation today?
