“And it came to pass, that, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, he worshipped the Lord, bowing himself to the earth.”
When Abraham's servant heard what they said, he bowed down to the ground before the LORD. The servant's response to the yes is the same as his response to finding Rebekah: worship. The mission is complete, the consent is given, and the first thing the servant does is bow. The bookend of worship — at the well in verses 26-27, at the household in verse 52 — frames the entire mission as an act of worship. The application: when a mission is complete, the right response is the same as when the answer first arrives: worship before celebration.
