Charles Spurgeon Commentary Genesis 24:1

"And Abraham was old, [and] well stricken in age. And Jehovah had blessed Abraham in all things." — Genesis 24:1 (ASV)

Happy is the man who can say that, who has a blessing everywhere!

And yet Abraham had his "but," for Isaac was still unmarried, and perhaps he little dreamed that for twenty years afterwards he who was to build the house of Abraham was to remain childless. Yet so it was. There was always a trial for Abraham's faith, but even his trials were blessed, for God blessed Abraham in all things.
