“And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.”
When food was set before him, the servant said: I will not eat until I have told you what I have come to say. So Laban said: then tell us. The servant's single-mindedness is remarkable — he has traveled from Canaan to Aram Naharaim, arrived at the household, been welcomed, sat down to a meal, and still he will not eat before he has said what he came to say. The mission is more urgent than the meal. Luke 9:62 describes the urgency of the kingdom call. The application: the mission-focused servant defers his own comfort for the completion of the task. What have you been delaying saying because other things keep getting in the way?
