College Drive Assembly, Colby, KSStrategies For SuccessDavid Martyn Lloyd-Jones wrote, "The secret of success is to think and to understand." Today, we examine Abraham's servant who is sent by his master to search for a wife for his son. In the process we watch as Eliezer chooses certain actions and makes decisions that brought him success. Eliezer was looking for a bride for Abraham's son. If God helped Abraham's servant, wouldn't He also help you in your quest for success?
