"And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son" (Gen. 24:48).
In this passage Abraham's servant worshipped and praised the Lord for allowing him to fulfill the task given to him by Abraham of finding a wife for his son Isaac. When Abraham’s servant set out to find this wife he didn't know the specifics of who she was, but he did have some instructions to work with. He knew he was not to take her from the daughters of the Canaanites in whose land Abraham dwelled. But instead he was to seek for her in Abraham's homeland, and among his relatives. And as he set out to be obedient to what he knew to do, the Lord divinely lead him in the "right way" and to the right person. The Lord will do the same for you.
Are you confused about God's direction, God's plan and will for your life? Be faithful to what you know God wants you to do where you are. In other words be obedient to the clear instructions and teachings of scripture (i.e. don't fornicate, don't commit adultery, give thanks in all things) and God will supernaturally lead you in those specific areas of your life (like choosing a wife or a husband) that are not specifically spelled out in the scriptures.
