“And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not.”
Without saying a word, the man watched her closely to learn whether or not the LORD had made his journey successful. The servant watches in silence. The quiet observation of whether the sign is being fulfilled is the servant's form of faith in action: he prayed for a specific sign, and now he watches for it without interfering. Lamentations 3:25-26 speaks of the goodness of waiting quietly for the salvation of the LORD. The application: the posture of watching and waiting — after you have prayed and positioned yourself — is not passivity but faith in action. The servant does not rush the conversation; he watches.
