Abraham is old. Isaac needs a wife. So Abraham sends his servant back to Mesopotamia with a prayer and a plan. The servant prays for a sign: the woman who offers water to him and his camels will be the one. Rebekah appears and does exactly that—watering ten camels, which takes hours and hundreds of gallons. Generosity as the test of character. The servant worships. Rebekah's family agrees. She goes willingly. Isaac sees her coming at evening, and "he loved her." A beautiful story of providence, prayer, and the quiet way God guides those who seek him.
