Genesis 24:1-9
1: Abraham was now very
old, and the Lord had blessed him in every way.
2: He said to the senior
servant in his household, the one in charge of all that he had, “Put your hand
under my thigh.
3: I want you to swear by
the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you will not get a wife
for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am living,
4: but will go to my
country and my own relatives and get a wife for my son Isaac.”
5: The servant asked him,
“What if the woman is unwilling to come back with me to this land? Shall I then
take your son back to the country you came from?”
6: “Make sure that you do
not take my son back there,” Abraham said.
7: “The Lord, the God of
heaven, who brought me out of my father’s household and my native land and who
spoke to me and promised me on oath, saying, ‘To your offspring I will give
this land’—he will send his angel before you so that you can get a wife for my
son from there.
8: If the woman is
unwilling to come back with you, then you will be released from this oath of
mine. Only do not take my son back there.”
9: So the servant put his
hand under the thigh of his master Abraham and swore an oath to him concerning
this matter.

International Version Holy Bible)
TOPIC:
BLESSED IN EVERY WAY
We all need and desire
blessing. Blessing, which is the same with favour, was bestowed on Abraham due
to his total obedience to the Lord.
Now that Abraham was
ageing, he needed not just any woman for a wife to Isaac but one whose
offspring would keep the blessings flowing even when he was no more.
Just like Abraham,
parents should not only be concerned about God blessing them alone. They should
make plans so that God's blessings pass onto their children as well.
QUESTION:
What does it mean to be blessed in every way?
PRAYER:
Lord, teach me to be obedient to You the way Abraham was in order to attract
Your blessings, in Jesus' name. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
