The servant asked him, "What if the woman is unwilling to come back with me to this land?
Shall I then take your son back to the country you came from?"
Genesis 24:5 NIV
Lesson#4 Acknowledge the problems.
So often in our church or ministry or our personal life we are not great at acknowledging, naming, giving clarity to the problems, the difficulties, the barriers...
There was an 800km camel ride required, finding the right person, convincing her to come 800km back...to marry a stranger!
It's easy to overlook the barriers.
To be naive about them.
Whether it's church, ministry, work, study, flatting, family...our inner world, our thinking, emotions, our heart...life really.
On this mission, our unnamed servant acknowledged the barriers, and that might help us to do that too...
