Summary

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:

GENESIS 24:10-18 - 10 Then the servant took ten of his master's camels and departed, taking all sorts of choice gifts from his master; and he arose and went to Mesopotamia to the city of Nahor. 11 And he made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time when women go out to draw water. 12 And he said, “O Lord, God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today and show steadfast love to my master Abraham. 13 Behold, I am standing by the spring of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water. 14 Let the young woman to whom I shall say, ‘Please let down your jar that I may drink,’ and who shall say, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels’—let her be the one whom you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I shall know that you have shown steadfast love to my master.” 15 Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her water jar on her shoulder. 16 The young woman was very attractive in appearance, a maiden whom no man had known. She went down to the spring and filled her jar and came up. 17 Then the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water to drink from your jar.” 18 She said, “Drink, my lord.” And she quickly let down her jar upon her hand and gave him a drink. 19 When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.” 20 So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran again to the well to draw water, and she drew for all his camels. 21 The man gazed at her in silence to learn whether the Lord had prospered his journey or not.

0:00.0	Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the morning mindset. I'm grateful that you're with me.
0:08.8	It's our opportunity to get our minds and our hearts aligned with God's word for this
0:13.6	day. That's our opportunity. Let's take it. Let's get serious about this as we dive into
0:19.6	God's word today. We're looking at Genesis chapter 24 verses 10 through 21. And I want
0:27.4	to ask you to start our conversation today by thinking about how you would go about making
0:34.6	decisions. How do you just normally do that? Do you spend a lot of time in prayer? Do you
0:39.9	look at all the pros and cons? Today, we're looking at a decision where one of Abraham's
0:44.2	servants is sent on a mission by his master and has to make some pretty important decisions.
0:51.0	We're going to learn a lot from his example. Before we get there, I want to remind you,
0:54.7	there is a companion journal that goes along with the morning mindset. It's formatted in
0:59.6	such a way. You can take your own notes, paraphrase the scriptures and the things that are said
1:04.6	even draw charts or diagrams that will help you understand the concepts. If you're interested
1:09.4	in finding that, you can go to morningmindsetmedia.com slash journal or you can look at the URL in
1:15.8	the description for this episode. All right. Today, let's look at Genesis 24 10 through 21.
1:22.3	Now, the circumstances is that Abraham is sending his servant back to his land of origin,
1:27.8	the place he came from, to find a wife for his son Isaac, and that was a very common thing in
1:33.7	their day. So, don't get all confused or bothered by that. That's just the way their culture was.
1:39.0	So, let's get beyond that and find out what God has to teach us today.
1:42.7	Says, then the servant took 10 of his master's camels and departed, taking all sorts of
1:47.4	choice gifts from his master, and he arose and went to Mesopotamia to the city of Nehore.
1:53.2	And he made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening,
1:58.2	the time when women go out to draw water. And he said, O Lord, God of my master Abraham,
