A beautiful but extremely detailed account of the Isaac and Rebekah. This account is one of faith and perserverance but also of obediance and answered prayers. Abraham was simply putting into motion the gameplan for eternity but in doing so entrusted the details and the execution to God. By entrusting and giving spiritual charge to his servant, he impressed upon him the importance of the task. This servant must have been so impressed with Abraham's faith that he too was seeking the Lord's guidance in this matter. The repetition of the account to Laban was classic since he left no detail out and impressed upon Laban the timeliness of his return. Laban was in no position to argue or to negotiate his end but we know that he was filled for his own agenda as he screwed Jacob in later dealings.
Long, tiring and exhausting weekend. Need a break from all of these tiring weekends.
Praise for today: Good and upright is the Lord. Ps 25:8
You need a weekend with nothing to do. I hope you & Irene get one soon!
