1. I will not eat until I have told you (28-33)

Abraham's servant was tired and hungry after a long, hot journey through the desert. But he had seen God's clear leading in answer to his prayer. He was a man of mission; now was the time to tell the family of Rebekah why he had come. He would not eat until he had given his testimony. So he told the story of how God had led him and answered his prayer.

2. Now tell me your decision (34-49)

It had become clear to Abraham's servant that God was calling Rebekah to be the wife of Isaac. But would it be clear to Rebekah and to her family? Would they obey God's leading? He told them the facts, making sure that they knew that there could be no compromise. The decision was up to them. Every person must consider God's word and God's calling and make his own decision; but God's servant must make the choices clear.

Application: Lord, teach me to be clear in my testimony to your gospel and grace. Help me to honor you in whatever I say.
One Word: Praise the God of Abraham
