And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold; And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in? And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor. She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in. And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD. And he said, 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.
If I were to make any observation on this verse, it should be this: that those are the sweetest mercies which we receive as answers to prayer. They are doubly blessed. First, in that they prove that God the Holy Ghost must have taught the heart to ask them. Romans 8:26-27. And secondly, in that they bring with them an evidence that our God is a prayer-hearing. and a prayer-answering God. Isaiah 65:24; John 16:23.
