And how did I find my wife 26 years ago? The same! Held hands the first time as we were married, she did though give me a haircut about three days before in her parent's kitchen (under supervision of course). :)

TJ,

Although we can't know for sure, according to how the circumstances unfold, we can see and acknowledge God's Providential Hand.

How did Abraham's servant find Rebekah so quickly? How did Jacob find Rachel so quickly? How did the Pharaoh find out about Joseph at just the right time? How did Moses get raised in Pharaoh's household? And on and on...

God's Providential Hand. It is all leading to the coming Messiah, redemption for mankind, the Glory of God.

Hi TJ,

1 Samuel 16:18 (KJV) Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold,

I HAVE SEEN a son of Jesse the Beth-lehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him.

I believe your answer is in vs 16.

How did the servant know all of this?
