1. Praying for God's leading (10-27)

At Nahor, Abraham's servant went strategically to the well and prayed for a woman who would volunteer to water his 10 thirsty camels (12-14). Just as he finished praying, Rebekah appeared. When he asked her for a drink of water, she graciously complied-and offered to water his camels! She was very beautiful and the virgin daughter of Abraham's nephew. Though it was exciting to find her, Abraham's servant first bowed his head and worshiped the Lord. He shows us the example of how to pray, thank God, and patiently wait on God's leading..

2. I will not eat until I have told you (28-49)

It was tempting to enjoy sweet hospitality and bring up his business later. Yet Abraham's servant would not eat until he had given his testimony and completed his mission. So, he told the story of how God had led him and answered his prayer. Now, the decision to send Rebekah to Canaan to be Isaac's wife was up to her family.
