Charles Spurgeon Commentary Genesis 24:7

"Jehovah, the God of heaven, who took me from my father`s house, and from the land of my nativity, and who spake unto me, and who sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land. He will send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife for my son from thence." — Genesis 24:7 (ASV)

What simple faith! This was the very glory of Abraham's faith; it was so simple, so childlike. It might be many miles to Padanaram, but it does not matter to faith. "My God will send his angel."

Oh! We are always making difficulties and suggesting hardships; but if our faith were actively exercised, we would do God's will far more readily. Who art thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain. (Zechariah 4:7). Brothers, let us be of good heart and of good courage in all matters, for undoubtedly the angel of God will go before us.
