Instruction From Eliezer’s
Camel Train
Intro:
Abraham sends his servantto get a bride for his
son. Here is how it happened…
Gen 24:10
10) And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his
master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were
in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto
the city of Nahor.
Text:
Gen 24:11
11) And he made his camels to kneel down without the
city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the
time that women go out to draw water.
I. The Constraintof the Clock

2. 2
Gen 24:11 …at the time of the evening, even the time
that women go...
The clock is the most apparent constraint of
human fate.
Time and tide wait for no man.
From before a baby’s first breath, all things are
measured by the clock.
How far along are you?
How far apart are the contractions?
How fast can we get to the hospital?
Job 7:1
1) Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are
not his days also like the days of an hireling?
As soon as the child can talk “Hickory Dickory
Dock “introduces him to the clock; and from
then on, it’s a race to keep up.

3. 3
John 7:6
6) Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come:
but your time is alway ready.
Time purpose, give his life a ransom for
many.
Man’s clock doesn’t ring out ‘Tick-Tock’,it has
one refrain that demands responsibility;“Ready
Now” is the insistent song of the second hand of
the clock.
Be sure in your hurry to accomplish a missionfor
God that you don’t forget each tick of the clock
has a purpose to be fulfilled.
Moses on a mission to lead Israel out of Egypt
almost lost his life because he failed to lead his
own family correctly.

4. 4
Exod 4:19-20, 24
19) And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go,
return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought
thy life.
20) And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them
upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and
Moses took the rod of God in his hand.
Exod 4:24
24) And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the
LORD met him, and sought to kill him.
They say, ‘A man may work from dusk to
dawn; but a woman’s work is never done”.
Not so for Eliezer, the chime of the evening bell
simply states there is more to be done.
Constraint of the Clock
II. The Submissionof Thought
Gen 24:11 And he made his camels to kneel down…

5. 5
He didn’t ask their permission or guage their
pace verses performance.
The camels don’t direct the masters moves.
Sometimes…
Ps 23:2
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth
me beside the still waters.
And sometimes he
Ps 23:5
5) Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of
mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup
runnethover.
…he made his camels to kneel down…
Camels kneel when they are loaded and
unloaded.

6. 6
We must kneel at the end of the day to unload
the burdens of the day, to be rested and ready
for the burdens that will come in the morning.
Your responsibility is to…
Gal 6:2
2) Bear ye one another'sburdens, and so fulfil the
law of Christ.
Your expectationshould be, The Master knows
what load I can carry.
Gal 6:5
5) For every man shall bear his own burden.
The constraint of the clock should drive you to
Submission of thought.
However, Prayer shouldbe closely accompanied
by Scripture.

7. 7
III. The Reservoirof Regeneration
Gen 24:11 And he made his camels to kneel down
without the city by a well of water…
A well of sarin-gas or agent orange would mean
your destruction,not regeneration or refreshing.
(Without the city) Only the Word of God is a well
of refreshing regeneration.
Ps 119:50
This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath
quickened me.
Isa 12:3
Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of
salvation.

8. 8
Isa 55:1
Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he
that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come,
buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Rev 21:6
And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alphaand Omega,
the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is
athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Conclusion-
2Cor6:2
(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and
in the day of salvationhaveI succoured thee: behold,
now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of
salvation.)
Heb 3:13
But exhort one anotherdaily, while it is called To day;
lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of
sin.
“Living Time.”

9. 9
Time is fast, time is slow,
It never stops,
Even when we do so.
Time for bed, time for school,
To waste time is to be a fool.
Some spend time, some save it.
Some love it, some hate it,
But Time does not wait, nor will it abate.
One day your stride will shorten,
Your breath grow thin,
But time marches on,
Till an account must be given.
How did you spend your living?
Redeem the time for the days are evil.
