Unselfishness

Genesis 24:12
And he said, O Adonai G-d of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day and show kindness unto my master Abraham.

Philippians 2:3,4
Let nothing be done through strive or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

Abraham obviously knew his days were coming to a close, and he didn't want his son to be alone. Abraham's servant knew of Abraham's wealth and although he wouldn't directly benefit from the riches, yet he prayed a very unselfish prayer that was answered immediately!
