* All hard work brings a profit.

* But there’s a specific type of worker who’s rewarded above the rest.

* Backstory - Abraham wanted to find a wife for his son, Isaac.

* He sent one of his managers to do the job (marriage broker).

* Vs 10-11 - he went to look for a wife in the place of work (not a bar).

* Vs 12 - he saw his job as a conduit through which God could bless his boss.

* Vs 13-14 - he was looking for a specific type of girl.

* He wanted one who was willing to serve.

* Vs 15a - “Before he was finished praying…” God wants to partner with you in your work.

* Vs 15b-16 - she was a hard worker.

* Vs 17-18 - she was also a servant.

* Vs 19-21 - she proved to be the right type.

* In our business we have found there are four types of workers:

* 1) They see what needs to be done and do it without needing to be asked.

* 2) They ask what needs to be done and they do it.

* 3) They will do what you ask them to do.

* 4) They don’t want to be asked what to do.

* #1 workers own and manage businesses.

* #2 workers supervise people in businesses.

* #3 workers are employees.

* #4 workers live off the government.

* Vs 22 - she was rewarded for being a #1 worker.

* We’re still talking about her thousands of years later!
