Genesis 24
THE IDEAL SERVANT

Abraham’s servant was a pretty amazing sort of guy. It is worth us noting his character and doing our best to be like him in our lives as a servant of Christ.

• The servant is not named. His job was to serve and honour Abraham, not make a name for himself.
• He was the servant in charge of all Abraham had. To reach a position like this takes dedication, hard work, patience and diligence.
• He followed instructions. If Abraham said it, he did it and gave it all he had.
• He was a man of prayer and faith, trusting in the guidance of God and believing that God would answer his prayer.
• He did what he needed to do without procrastinating. He would not eat before he passed on his message. And when the answer came, he was ready to action it straight away.

If only we could be that sort of person for our Lord Jesus Christ. Let’s be the servant who honours Jesus more than we care about ourselves; the diligent servant who obeys in everything; the servant that is full of prayer and faith; and the servant who gets on with what we should be doing when we should be doing it.

May we be devoted servants of our Lord this week.

With love in our Lord,
Robert
