Generosity is a prominent characteristic of God's favored people. Consider Abraham, Sarah, Lot, Rebekah, Jacob...
When Eliezer arrived at Laban's home in Haran, Laban recognized that the man was wealthy and welcomed him into his house, but didn't do anything for him. Eliezer had to care for his own camels and men.
Contrast Ephrom (who sold the cave to Abraham), Laban, and Rebekah. Ephrom feigned generosity in order to assimilate Abraham. Laban feigned generosity in order to get some reward from Eliezer and as long as it didn't cost him anything. Rebekah, on the other hand, was generous with no expectation of reward.
Genesis 24
In Genesis 24, Abraham sent his trusted servant, Eliezer, to find a bride for Isaac. Eliezer, who knew the heart of Abraham and of YHWH, asked God for a sign: "When I ask her for a drink of water, she will also offer to water my camels." Rebekah did exactly that in spectacular fashion, and she didn't stop there! This story reveals three important character traits of Rebekah, traits that God wants to see in ALL of his people.

Always move forward. Lapses are inevitable, but never accept them. Recover and advance.

Eliezer, and not Isaac, ruled Abraham's house in Genesis 24. Perhaps Isaac wasn't ready for that level of leadership until he had a wife and family of his own. This is a common situation with men and one of the reasons why leaders should almost always be married fathers rather than bachelors, and not new fathers. Family is a good training ground for #leadership of all kinds.

Some warnings are for everyone. Isaiah 1:3, “The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master’s manger, but Israel does not know; My people do not understand.” As Isaiah speaks the words he is given to the nation he compares them to an ox which is a strong beast of burden and a donkey which is noted for being stubborn.
