It's often quite easy to recognize God's will for other people and there are also certain areas of our own lives where we have no trouble making good decisions. But nothing is more difficult than trying to determine God's leading in matters where we have strong personal interest in the outcome. This is the area of decision-making where we all struggle and may have a long history of making bad choices. When confronted with these very personal decisions, we discover we can't trust our own judgment: our emotions overwhelm our reason, our fears and longings disguise themselves as God's voice, and we tend to hear what we want to hear.
In today's lesson we watch as Abraham's servant goes in search of a wife for Isaac. His trip turns into a remarkable adventure in which God guides him to the perfect choice and enables him to fulfill his assignment. In watching how this family makes their "important personal decision," we can all learn to make better decisions for our own lives.
