“The Lord God of heaven, which took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.”
Abraham declares that the LORD, the God of heaven who took him from his father's household and his native land, who spoke to him and promised him the land — he will send his angel before the servant so that he can get a wife for his son from there. Abraham's faith for the mission is grounded in the history of God's prior faithfulness: the God who called me from Ur, who promised me this land, will also send his angel ahead of you. Deuteronomy 31:8 uses the same logic: the LORD who goes before you will be with you. The application: your confidence for the next step of obedience is grounded in God's track record in the steps already taken.
