A PURPOSEFUL LIFE; OLD TESTAMENT STORIES
AN ALL IMPORTANT DECISION
PART XI
"I, Abraham's servant, Eliezer, waited to hear what Rebekah's family here in Nahor had to say about my decision to return to my master in Canaan this very morning.... They thought I should stay for another ten days or so give Rebekah opportunity to say goodbye to her friends and family and to get ready for the journey.... I could understand that Rebekah's family may have wanted her to stay with them for a little longer since, very likely, they will never see her again once she goes to Canaan... However, I knew that I needed to return to Canaan to see my master... So I told Rebekah's family that I would not postpone my trip... They then decided to ask Rebekah what she wanted to do... And Rebekah told us she would go with me to Canaan... No doubt, the Lord had prepared her heart to make her willing to go with me on this long and tiring journey... And so Rebekah, her nurse, my men and I set off for Canaan earlier today.".... Please read the typed out attachment when you will learn that Rebekah is willing to go to Canaan with Abraham's servant Eliezer...

AN ALL IMPORTANT DECISION
PART XI
Will Rebekah be willing to go back to Canaan with Arbraham's servant Eliezer? Let's read Genesis 24:55-61 to find out her response.
But her brother and her mother replied, "Let the girl remain with us ten days or so; then you may go." But he said to them, "Do not detain me, now that the Lord has granted me success to my journey. Send me on my way that I may go to my master." Then they said, "Let's call the girl and ask her about it." So they called Rebekah and asked her, "Will you go with this man?" "I will go, " she said. So they sent their sister Rebekah on her way, along with her nurse and Abraham's servant and his men. And they blessed Rebekah and said to her, "Our sister, may you increase to thousands upon thousands may your offspring possess the gates of their enemies"
Rebekah's family realises that Rebekah is willing to go with Abraham's servant so they do not try to persuade her to remain at least for a few days but speak profound blessings over he life as she departs
