Prayer—Worship
One of the most vital elements to communion with God is prayer. As our God would speak to us, He looks for our response and this indeed is prayer. How many times in this chapter do we witness this dear servant's head bowed, either in prayer or worship (vv. 12, 13, 14, 26, 27, 52). With a deep sense in his heart of the Lord's special undertaking, he exclaims, "Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of His mercy and His truth: I being in the way, the Lord led me to the house of my master's brethren." Can we not say that this lovely statement defines well our word communion?
How precious to our Father's heart is our worship ascending up to Him as we discover His infinite love and perfect grace to us. We may well say over and over, "Great is Thy faithfulness." Worship to God had become a vital part in the life of this dear servant. Perhaps he had learned much by observing his master Abraham and his altar.
