Divine intervention

I was reading this morning about how Abraham sent his servant to
find a wife for his son Isaac. As I was reading, I came to the part, where
Isaac went out to meditate and bow down in prayer in the evening.

The next Rebekah did, was dismounting from her camel and
covering herself with her veil. This is a sign of humility, modesty and
subjection. She didn't reproach Isaac for not coming himself to find her and
she didn't complain about the journey or the change to which she was subjected.
I think she saw God going before her in this affair.
What
did Isaac do?
He then
was 'walking across the field to meet' her. Some people think that Isaac intentionally expected
the return of his servant and his future wife about that time and went out on
purpose to meet them. But he went out having another purpose: to take the
advantage of a silent evening and solitary field for meditation and prayer.
Isn't that great?
Nowadays
when a girl meets a boy, she lifts herself up before his eyes and uncovers
herself to attract him...the contrary of what Rebekah did.
And
boys don't wait in prayer for God's chosen one, they rather run into
relationships very easy, thinking they know what their need is and God is
taking too much time to choose the girl for them. Today they don't LOOK UP,
they look to the left and right to find their partner. What does LOOKING UP
mean? It means: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not
depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he
will show you which path to take."

It's
very interesting that I've read this TODAY, because today the world is
celebrating Valentine's Day. I don't know how much it should be our
celebration, but I'm sure that every day should be a celebration for those who
are in love. Not just on this day or on other special celebrations should they
give gifts, blessings, great words, praises to the loved one, but each and
every day they should celebrate their relationship in Christ. I haven't thought
to write about this topic... but thanks Lord for your guidance.
A very, very good article. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!!! Thanks :*
