“And he said unto me, The Lord, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house:”
The master replied: the LORD, before whom I have walked faithfully, will send his angel with you and make your journey a success, so that you can get a wife for my son from my own clan and from my father's family. The servant quotes Abraham's faith-speech — the LORD before whom I have walked will send his angel. The covenant-walking that characterized Abraham's life is the basis of his confidence in the mission's success. Hebrews 11:6 states that without faith it is impossible to please God. The application: the faith that grounds a mission is the faith built across a lifetime of walking before God. Abraham's confidence comes from his history with God.
