MEDITATION

Genesis 24:10-11

10 Then the servant took ten of his master’s camels and departed, for all his master’s goods were in his hand. And he arose and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.
11 And he made his camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water at evening time, the time when women go out to draw water.

ii. He planned to visit with Abraham’s brother, Nahor.
c. He showed social skills.
