Abraham asks his servant
To bring a bride for Isaac.
The servant asks God for easy recognition of the woman,
An elaborate script with radical hospitality and generous service.
Rebekah unknowingly followed the servant’s script exactly.
What jumped out at me, though, was this:
And the man wondering at her held his peace,
To wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
The servant asked and was precisely answered.
And yet he wondered and was silent, waiting
To know whether the LORD had answered.
Perhaps even obvious answers sometimes need a little time to sink in.
