Specifics

S: ““O LORD, God of my master, Abraham,” he prayed. “Please give me success today, and show unfailing love to my master, Abraham. See, I am standing here beside this spring, and the young women of the town are coming out to draw water. This is my request. I will ask one of them, ‘Please give me a drink from your jug.’ If she says, ‘Yes, have a drink, and I will water your camels, too!’—let her be the one you have selected as Isaac’s wife. This is how I will know that you have shown unfailing love to my master.” Before he had finished praying, he saw a young woman named Rebekah coming out with her water jug on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel, who was the son of Abraham’s brother Nahor and his wife, Milcah.”

Genesis 24:12-15 NLT

““Then I bowed low and worshiped the LORD. I praised the LORD, the God of my master, Abraham, because he had led me straight to my master’s niece to be his son’s wife.” Genesis 24:48 NLT

“But he said, “Don’t delay me. The LORD has made my mission successful; now send me back so I can return to my master.”” Genesis 24:56 NLT

O: Not only did the servant pray faithfully for success, he gave specifics. Not this vague, oh God make your answer clear to me. He prayed let me be successful and this how I will know if I was successful. And before he was done praying there she was. After his vision for  success was completed he didn't become arrogant or prideful. He worshiped God. Not only did God follow through on exactly what the servant prayed, the woman also happened to be Abrahams niece, exactly what Abrhan requested. Rebecca's family again confirmed the seen acts success. They responded, how can we decline, God sent you. Again, the servant worshipped. The next morning however, the servant is ready to return home with his task completed but the family tried to delay. Yet Rebecca comes in and says I want to go with him and together they return. 

A: I have prayed for my gift and calling. I have fought spiritual battles and have won to be where I am. Now it's time to pray specifically about how this gifting will be played out. It's time to write that letter form my 80 year old self. As I pray this pray I must also understand that it's not about me, I must become selfless and lay my life down for the sake of the gospel, the sake of his will. Therefore worship is what I do after every bit of success. My gift, my calling, my success will be acknowledged. Many will try to delay me but my gift will believe in me and believe for me. Speaking and I are one, we will return to the Lord together. In Jesus name.

P: God you are worthy to be praised. You are high and lifted up. You are wonderful, holy and mighty. You alone make me victorious! As I prepare to write this letter please ordain my thoughts. May I not hold myself back as I get into specifics. You know the desires of my heart, reveal to me parts I may not have tapped into yet. Show me your glory. I long to be faithful to your will. I want to be where you are! I long to be where you are. As I outline my life may all paths lead to you. In your name Lord Jesus I give it all. In Jesus name.
