Genesis 24: 14: "Now let it be that the young woman to whom I say, 'Please let down your pitcher that I may drink,' and she says, 'Drink, and I will also give your camels s drink'--let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac."In this chapter, Abraham was well advanced in years. He wanted to be sure that his son would have a wife and bear children to fulfill God's promise of his being a father of a multitude. He sends his servant to get a wife for Isaac. His servant prays the prayer in verse 14. Rebekah comes to the well and says exactly what the servant had prayed for. Rebekah leaves with the servant and travels to Isaac to become his wife. This passage speaks to the Providence of God and its relationship to prayer. God had a plan. He would cause Rebekah to go to the well and speak the words to let the servant know she was the one. While God's Providence was controlling the action. It was not independent of the servant's prayer. The point is, we pray and God's Providence brings about His perfect result in His timing. Our part is to pray and have faith.
