God is a Great Leader

Genesis 24 continues in this way:

183) The Lord had led Abraham’s servant on the journey to the house of Abraham’s relatives.  (God leads our steps!)

184) Laban called the servant “you who are blessed by the Lord.”

185) The Lord blessed Abraham abundantly.

186) The Lord had given Abraham sheep and cattle, silver and gold, menservants and maidservants, and camels and donkeys.  (Our good fortune doesn’t come from luck.  It comes from God.)

187) The Lord had given Abraham everything he owned.  (God has also given US everything we own! We should thank Him for that!)

188) Before the journey for Isaac’s bride, Abraham told his servant, “The Lord, before whom I have walked, will send his angel with you and make your journey a success…” (What a remarkable statement!  Angels accompany us!)

189) God led the servant on the right road to get the granddaughter of Abraham’s brother for his son Isaac. (God also leads us on the right road!)

190) Laban and Bethuel, Rebekah’s parents, told Abraham’s servant, “This is from the Lord” (choosing Rebekah for Isaac).

191) They gave Rebekah to the servant, “as the Lord has directed.” (They were wise not to stand in God’s way. We need to be just as wise!)
