God’s kindness to Abraham and Isaac (Genesis 24:1-12)
Abraham was advancing in years and knew that in order for his legacy to be carried on, he needed to find a wife for Isaac.
He selected his trusted servant and sent him on a mission to his homeland to find a wife for Isaac because he did not want a wife from the people around him.
The servant knew Jehovah God, and understood that only God could give him wisdom, and favor to choose the right bride.
Vs. 12 – He asked God to give him success and to show kindness to Abraham – God had always demonstrated kindness to Abraham in the past.
Then the servant fleeced God by telling him that whoever offered not only to give him water, but also to give water to the animals would be the one God had selected for Isaac’s bride.
God answered the servant’s request by showing kindnesses to Abraham in the selection of a bride - the right bride was chosen and taken back to Isaac.

Kindness comes from the heart of God toward His children. He is kind and considerate toward us.

Whether you are rich or poor the law of kindness can operate in you and from you to others. All you have to do is ask God to work through you.
