Objective
God leads us and chooses what is good for

us.
Abraham was the father of Isaac and he was getting very old.
So, he wanted to find a beautiful wife for his son Isaac.
Abraham wanted to choose the perfect wife for his son and so
he asked his favorite servant Eleazar to go and find a wife for
Isaac.
The wife that he chooses had to be
very special, because she had to love
God as much as Isaac and his father
did. She also had to obey God’s
commandments. He also wanted to
make sure that Isaac’s wife should be
from his own people who know God.
Abraham told him to go and find one of
their relatives from a far…far away land.
The servant was worried, how could he
ask someone to travel this far to be
Isaac’s wife? Maybe she would be scared
to leave her family.
And the servant also asked Abraham:
What if she does not want to come with
me here should I take your son Isaac to
see her there.
Abraham said: Do not take my son back.
Abraham did not want his son Isaac to go
back because God, long time ago, told him
to leave his home, his family and his land
and to go to another land. And Abraham
was very obedient to God so he did not
want his son to go back.
Abraham told him not to worry
because God would take care of
everything. God will send his angel
to guide you to choose a wife that
will agree to come with you.
So, Abraham’s servant took ten camels with him and
many presents to give to the family of the new bride of
Isaac when he finds her.
After traveling for a long time he became very thirsty and he decided that he would let
the camels rest. He was waiting for somebody to offer him some water. He also prayed
to God that He might guide him to the good wife for Isaac. He asked God that the
woman who will give him water to drink and will also give his camels would be the one
that God chose for Isaac.
Just after he finished praying, a beautiful young women named
Rebekah came out with a jar (pitcher) to get water.
As she was getting water, the servant ran to her and
asked if she could give him water to drink.
She kindly gave him a drink.
She offered some water to the camels because she
could see that they were thirsty, isn’t she so nice?
The helper was so excited that God
took care of him and answered his
prayer. The servants then knew that this
is the wife for Isaac because she did
just what he asked God that she would
do. He was so happy he prayed and
thanked God for showing him this girl.
The servants was very happy that he found a wife for Isaac so
he took a gold nose ring and two bracelets and gave her as a
present. He asked Rebekah about her family. The servant could
not believe how God had provided.
It turned out that her father was a relative of Abraham.
Rebekah was excited. She ran back to her family and
told them the news.
Quickly they ran to the well to meet the servant. They brought him back to
their home and gave him food to eat and a place to stay. The servant
introduced himself to her father Bethuel and her brother Laban.
Rebekah’s father and brother asked the servant what he wanted. He shared
that Abraham was looking for a wife for his son, Isaac. He shared how God
had helped him find Rebekah and his joy in learning that she was a relative
of Abraham’s family.
When Rebekah’s father heard all that God had done, he told Abraham’s
servant that certainly God had arranged this meeting. Abraham’s servant
bowed down and gave Rebekah’s family gold and silver jewelry, clothing,
and many expensive gifts.
Then, they asked Rebekah if she would like to go with the servant to be
Isaac’s wife and she said: “I will go”.
The next morning Rebecca leaves with the servant.
She went on to meet her husband Isaac.
Isaac was out in the field when he saw camels coming. Rebekah also looked
up and saw Isaac. She asked the servant about him and found out that it was
Isaac, whom she would marry. As he approached, she put a veil over her
face as was the custom in that time.
When Isaac met her he also knew that God had chosen the perfect wife for
him, because she was so nice and good and she loved God very much.
Isaac married Rebekah and loved her.
