This message explores the remarkable story of how Abraham sent his faithful servant to find a wife for Isaac, demonstrating God's sovereignty and faithfulness. Through this narrative, we see themes of obedient faith, divine providence, and the cultural understanding of marriage in biblical times. The sermon examines how God went before Abraham's servant, orchestrating events to bring Rebecca into Isaac's life - a humble, hardworking woman of character who would become part of the chosen lineage. This account challenges modern perspectives on marriage, patience, and trusting God's timing while illustrating how God blesses those who walk in His will with specific, answered prayer.Chapter References: Genesis 24:1-67 Genesis 9:25 (Curse of Canaan) Genesis 23 (Abraham's reputation among the Hittites) Genesis 35:8 (Death of Deborah, Rebecca's nurse)
