Another close call tonight.
A near miss.
So just briefly then.
Genesis 24
The mark of a man's walk with God must be in who else recognises how real it is.
Abraham's servant, a man who knew him very well, who would have seen the good days, would have seen the bad, recognises that God is blessing Abraham.
So great is Abraham's walk with God, it is appreciated by his servant.
v12 ""O LORD, God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today and show steadfast love to my master Abraham."
v27 "Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his steadfast love and his faithfulness toward my master."
He is also able to determine the source of Abraham's wealth. He attributes none to Abraham.
v35 "The LORD has greatly blessed my master, and he has become great. He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male servants and female servants, camels and donkeys."
Abraham's impact on this man, whose job was to serve him, is remarkable.
Do people close to us see God's grace and blessing in our lives?
Is our fervour for God as infectious as Abraham's?
Do we recognise God's part in our successes?
Good night.
