9. What do we find the servant doing in Genesis 24:26? What does this tell us about his spiritual condition?
NOTE: The servant’s conduct is a model for us. He prays before going into the city to find the wife. He worships God upon the first indicator that He has answered the servant’s prayer. He testifies of the LORD’s work in his life. He worshiped the LORD again upon confirmation of the LORD’s work. He was diligent to complete his work and return to his master. Think about how you can begin to follow this model in your own prayer life and walk with God.
