Genesis 24:10-12

Genesis 24:10-12 And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor. And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water. 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. Eleazar took ten camels loaded with gifts for Isaac’s wife. But he didn’t know who she was yet! But he asked God for direction and laid out his plan to God. When they got to where they were going, Eleazar would go to the community well about the same time that the women of the city were going to the well to get their water. He would ask for a drink of water. If the girl offered to draw water for him and his camels, that would be the one that God had selected for Isaac to marry. And, wouldn’t you know it, that is exactly what happened! Rebekah came down to the well to draw water and Eleazar asked her for a drink. She agreed, but went on to offer to draw water for his camels too. A thirsty camel can drink about 30 gallons of water in thirteen minutes! Thirty gallons would fill two or three refrigerators! And that’s just for one camel. Eleazar had ten camels! Rebekah was kind and considerate and hard-working! But the first thing that Eleazar did was to thank the good Lord for answering his prayer. And then he gave Rebekah a solid gold earring and two gold bracelets. Eleazar knew how to get to a woman’s heart! And God put them together in the same place at the same time. God had worked things out once again!
