Finding a Bride for Isaac

Elderly Abraham sent his trusted servant back to his relatives to find a wife for Isaac. The servant traveled with camels and gifts. When he reached the city of Nahor, he prayed beside the well, asking God to guide him with wisdom and kindness. Rebekah came to the well and offered water not only to the servant but also to his camels. The servant saw God guiding the journey, thanked Rebekah, and worshiped God. After Rebekah’s family heard why the servant had come, they recognized God’s leading, and Rebekah was willing to go. She traveled with the servant to Isaac, and Isaac welcomed Rebekah as they became a family. This story shows that we can seek God’s guidance in important decisions and respond with kindness, diligence, and respect.
