There is a portion of Scripture has often been very poorly understood, this goes without saying that almost always seen this story a signal. Today will develop an important part perhaps to some it has gone unnoticed. all starts with the mission of Abraham his servant Eliezer, who tells him to get a wife for his son Isaac but not Canaanite but go to his homeland where his relatives and then take wife for his son.
grabbed 10 camels and began his journey when he arrived in Mesopotamia to the city of Nahor and fell near a well, at evening the girls started coming to draw water
was the opportunity to meet the task.
But which one to choose?. Very simple prayed thus:
... ... ... Oh Lord, God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, good speed this day, and show kindness unto my master Abraham. Behold, I stand next to the water source, and the daughters of men of the city come by water. For let that the damsel to whom I say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink, and she shall say, Drink, and I will water your camels be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and shall I know that thou hast showed kindness unto my master. Genesis 24:12-14
This is where I was struck by the passage.
Do you know how much water it takes a camel? May take up to 180 liters. Can you imagine! ... ... ... How much water had to get well?, Of course considering that there were 10 camels. (V.10), eye she gave him a pail to each according to verse 19 that they were given until they have finished drinking.
This is awesome, Rebecca was not only very beautiful (v.16), but had a noble one, a big heart, great service available.
Many see in this passage the signal but almost never see the nobility.
Eliezer Actually what I wanted as the wife of his master is a woman with a big heart, the next time you read this passage recalls how wise it was Eliezer to ask this in prayer, "a woman different from the others and that is not only facade.
is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised. Proverbs 31:30.
Mujer virtuosa, ¿quién la hallará? Porque su estima sobrepasa largamente a la de las piedras preciosas. Proverbios 31.10
La belleza interior siempre prevalecerá en las hijas de Dios
