And he said, “O Lord God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham. Behold, I stand here by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water: and let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.”
In this passage from Genesis, we see the servant of Abraham praying for God’s guidance as he seeks a wife for Isaac. He asks for a sign to show him which woman will be the right match for Isaac, and God answers his prayer by bringing Rebekah to the well, who fulfills all the criteria set by the servant. This story demonstrates the importance of seeking God’s guidance in all matters, especially in finding a life partner. It also shows the faithfulness of God in answering prayers and guiding His people in their decisions.
