God's dating app

10/3/2018
Abraham was getting old now and was concerned that his son Isaac find a suitable wife, but not any girl from the Canaanites where they were living, but to find a girl from their homeland, so the servant travelled to Iraq and Nahor's village. (remember Nahor was Abraham's  brother.
He shot a prayer up to God to let the first woman that comes to the watering stream where he has set himself and his camels down to rest would be the woman for Isaac. He asked God for a little test first so he could be sure and the test was that the woman would ask him if he wanted a drink and would give all his camels a drink too. Well along came Rebecca and passed the test with flying colours. She brought then man back to her home and told her father the whole story accompanied with presents of Jewellery and gold. The servant (we never know his name) begs Rebekah to come with him straight away. Her parents left the decision up to her. We are not told how old Rebekah was but she made up her own mind to go back with the savant. It was like a fairy-tale scene. Isaac decided to take a stroll in the long grasses and Rebekah comes along at the same time and it was love at first sight.  You can imagine the picture Seeing each other from afar and as they get closer they fall for each other.
Kind of romantic don't you think in a time of arranged marriages.  Even better than  a dating app;  just shoot up a prayer to God and there you have it.

How is your love life?
Bye for now
