Wouldn’t it be great to wake up in the morning and get an e-mail or text message from God with
His will for us that day? There would be no need to wonder what direction to go, or what to do
with our lives.
Unfortunately, real life is not that easy. However, God has given us ways to seek out His will for our
lives. The story of Isaac and Rebekah is not only a beautiful story of God bringing two people
together, but it also provides five key principles about how to know the will of God for our lives.

This IS my stipulation to you.
You CAN hear God speak to you.
While Pastors and Teachers Don’t want you to become a “nutcase”
They also DO WANT you to know God and to Follow Him.
In Twelve Short Devotions Starting Tomorrow
We Will State Emphatically
How YOU
Not only can Hear God speak to you personally
He is the Only One who can get through all the “Voices” you hear
And Speak Directly To You.
DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW?
PRACTICAL PRINCIPLES
1. You must look for it. Eliezer sought Abraham’s wisdom for choosing Isaac’s bride-to-be because
he knew God had spoken through Abraham. Today, we have the Word of God to look to for
guidance. The more we get into the Bible on a regular basis, the more we will see God’s grand
design, His purpose, and His plans for us. Scripture has everything we need to know about life
(2 Timothy 3:16).
2. You must ask for God’s specific will for you. Once you’ve gotten into God’s Word, it’s time to go
to the Lord in prayer and ask for His will to be revealed. One of the first things Eliezer did when
he went out was to pray for God to reveal His choice (Verse 12). There is nothing too
insignificant for you to pray about, and God wants to hear our requests.
3. You must wait for the will of God. The timing of God is just as important as the will of God. His
perfect will also comes with a perfect time for it to happen. Even as Rebekah met all of the
standards Eliezer had set forth, he still waited to see if she was who God had selected. It is easy
for us to pray for God’s will and then want to act quickly. But if God says for you to wait, it is
for your good. When the time is right, He will give you the green light.
4. You must act on it when it is revealed. When God told Philip to go to the desert, Philip didn’t
delay or ask questions. As a result, he was there at the right time to share the gospel. Likewise,
when God reveals a step to take, we need to trust Him and act on it. When you act on His
prompting and take that first step in faith, God will be faithful to reveal where the next step is.
5. God will confirm His will. In Verses 63-67, we see that Isaac was obedient to God’s will, waiting
in the field and praying. It was then that God confirmed His will through Eliezer’s return with
Rebekah. In the same way, God will reinforce His will by providing us with exactly what we
need. Isaac trusted and was rewarded with a God-blessed wife. When you trust His will for your
life, He will reward you by confirming it in a blessed way.
