Genesis 24:12 - The faithful servant

Then he prayed, “Lord, God of my master Abraham, make me successful today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.

Abraham asks the senior servant in his household to go to his home country to find a wife for his son. The servant takes this job seriously. He prays to the Lord, God of his master Abraham several times. He is successful in this journey and task. I am so impressed by the faithfulness and humility of this servant. He was praying to the "God of his master". He clearly believed and worshiped Abraham's God, but there was such a reverence in the way he spoke of him. This servant wanted success, but his success was not for himself, it was for his master.

Lord, Thank you for the opportunity to come directly to you in prayer. Please help us to succeed in the plans you have for us today so that your name will be glorified. Lord, also help us as we work for earthly masters (bosses). Let us be successful in the tasks we are given to be a blessing to those we are working for. Amen.
