Genesis 24:48 And I bowed and worshipped Jehovah and blessed Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take the daughter of my master’s brother for his son. [Recovery Version Bible]
Abraham did not charge his servant to be faithful, to be honest, or to do a good work; he charged him with and by the Lord (Genesis 24:2-3, 9, 40-41); by charging his servant with the Lord, he brought him deep into the Lord. Abraham’s oldest servant was faithful in responsibility (Genesis 24:5, 9, 33, 54, 56). Abraham’s servant followed in Abraham’s footsteps by trusting in the Lord for his responsibility; he prayed to the Lord in a clear, humble, yet simple way; everyone who truly believes in God is simple (Genesis 24:12-14, 21, 42; cf. 2 Corinthians 1:12; 11:2-3). The servant knew the Lord’s will by looking for His leading and sovereignty in the environment (Genesis 24:13-21, 26-27, 48-49). (Life-Study of Genesis, msg. 60)
