Jan. 9th (Gen. 24:15,45)
(45) "Before I finished praying in my heart, Rebekah came out, with her jar on her shoulder...."
Abraham's servant honored him (Abraham) by the oath he made by praying for confirmation....he didn't choose a wife by presumption or guess or by picking the skinniest or most beautiful girl. He allowed God's leading by and through prayer. God honored Abraham and his servant by following through with his word and answering the servants prayer immediately. Even before he had finished praying God was at work.
When we honor God like Abraham did by not letting his servant choose a wife from the Canaanites or letting Isaac go back to their former land because of God's future promise, and when we honor God through seeking Him first in prayer and looking for His confirmation in our decisions, God in turn will hear us and honor us with his guidance and answers to prayer.
