HOW TO PICK A MATE
Hebrews 11:20-21
. Regardless of consequences .or circumstances.
Would you open your Bibles to the great chapter of faith, Hebrews number 11. Our
passage is brief. Verse 20, reads, the first part;
"By faith Isaac...."
Now if you'll turn to Genesis, we'll read a word about Isaac. Chapter number 24,

"But, listen, go to my country and my relatives and take a wife for my son
Isaac. And the servant said to him, 'Suppose the woman will not be

where you came?' Then Abraham said to him, 'Beware, lest you take my son
back there. The Lord, the God of heaven who took me from my father's

the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be free from this my
oath only do not take my son back there."'

water at evening time, the time when women go out to draw water. And he
said, '0 Lord, the God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today
and show loving-kindness to my master Abraham. Behold, I am standing by
the spring and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw
water. Now, may it be that the girl to whom I say: Please let down your

camels also. May she be the one whom ...
