“God will send His angel ahead of you,
And you will get my son a wife from there.”
Genesis 24:7
It’s scary when our kids reach an age of hormones and butterflies. We are brought back to our own youthful season of awakening desires and the “yuckiness” of their previous aversion to the opposite sex becomes a thing of the past.
Abraham knew that his son was reaching that point, and that they were in a land inhabited by people who had no consciousness of the True Creator-God that Abraham’s family worshiped. Where was he going to ever find a young lady “good enough” for his precious son Isaac!
Abraham went to God with his quandary. And God was faithful, as always.
Although Abraham’s family was in a “world” that did not have the Truth or connection with the God of Abraham, Creator God was looking at the heart of a young woman to bring into their little family. Abraham could have taken things into his own hands, but his Journey with God was proving again and again that God Knows . . . He is Able . . . His Ways are best. Finding a young woman of virtue and character in that world was highly unlikely. But “unlikely” is when God does some of His finest work.
It would require that Abraham be “hands-off” in finding his son a wife in their very un-Godly environment. But unlike us, God sees the heart, knows the story, sees the future, and knows the Path that will lead to fulfilling His Purposes in this world.
Even when it seems highly unlikely that He can really do that.
Abraham chose to put his trust in his servant. As he had instructed, Abraham’s servant went to the land of his master’s birth, and the God of Abraham guided him to the woman who God had chosen for the beloved son.
Sometimes God chooses to use people in our children’s lives to bring about His Purposes for them. Trusting The Father of All Fathers is always best.
