“And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the Lord led me to the house of my master’s brethren.”
He said: praise be to the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not abandoned his kindness and faithfulness to my master. As for me, the LORD has led me on the journey to the house of my master's relatives. The thanksgiving prayer names two of God's core attributes — kindness (hesed) and faithfulness (emet) — the same pair celebrated in Exodus 34:6 and Psalm 86:15. The servant also testifies to his own experience: the LORD led me. The mission was God's; the servant was the instrument. The application: receiving the answer to prayer with gratitude that names God's specific attributes deepens both the faith and the testimony. Name what God has shown you about himself in this provision.
