Genesis 24:1 – 67
A steward is one who is commissioned to oversee and execute the affairs of another. The closer a steward is able to represent the mind of their superior, the better they fulfill their role. Therefore, when a steward is on assignment, ideally they have no personal will or agenda; they strive to have the mind and will of their supervisor.
Abraham’s unnamed servant in Genesis 24 (perhaps Eliezer; see Genesis 15:2 – 3) was an excellent example of a faithful steward. His mind-set was to represent Abraham’s will and interests as faithfully as possible. That’s a great picture for us; we are stewards of Jesus’ domain, and our goal is to have his mind and will. By looking at Abraham’s servant, we can gain insight into how to be a more faithful steward of God’s purposes.
