A key lesson from Genesis 24

I think no other lesson stood out as much as the one on Genesis 24 for most of us. It is very interesting how from Abraham's chief servant, some key principles of how we should seek God's will are drawn.

1. God's will is confirmed by right circumstances, backed up by scripture and receiving peace from God. Without one of these 3, it's good to halt and consider before taking another step into that decision.

2. When God reveals his will, the believe must take the step in faith and enter the door God has opened. It isn't quite right if one asks God for a direction and refuse to take it afterwards.
