"May it be that when I say to a girl, ‘Please let down your jar that I may have a drink,’ and she says, ‘Drink, and I’ll water your camels too’ — let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac." Genesis 24:14
When Eliezer arrives at his destination, the first thing he does is pray. Rebekah, a beautiful young virgin, then arrives at the well and offers to get water for Eliezer’s 10 camels… That would take over 2000 pints of water!!! She’s an awesome answer to prayer.
This is only the second prayer recorded in Scripture. The first was Abraham’s a couple of chapters earlier.* What a wonderful picture this narrative offers us: God answers the prayers of servants as well as masters!
