2 Kings 6:1-23; Jeremiah 39:1-40:16; Hebrews 10:1-18
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. Genesis 24:12
Provided solely with his master’s instructions, Abraham’s servant was entrusted with the extraordinary task of seeking a wife for the heir of promise. Initiated under oath, Abraham’s desire bound his servant to the sovereign will of the Lord, God of heaven and earth. As we examine Scriptural prayers where the seeker sought divine guidance, we see three essentials. Our service must follow His guiding Word, be prayerfully aligned with sovereign timing and allow us to be channels of His lovingkindness. This is a proven pattern for serving Him each day. —D. J. Reed
What shall I ask today? Naught but Thine own sweet will;
The windings of the way lead to Thy holy hill. —Henry Burton
