This faithful servant in Abraham's house was held in honor and trust. The word "servant" appears fourteen times in this chapter. It is obvious that he was near and ready to receive communications from his master. "Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors." Prov. 8:34. How good to be available when the blessed Lord would speak to us. Does He not have much to tell us? Are we so distracted by this world and our getting through it that the Lord Jesus cannot get our attention? It was not so with Abraham's servant. He listened carefully to every word and then submitted to Abraham's plan.
