“Thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac” (Gen. 24:4).

Abraham gave a solemn warning to his servant, when he put him in charge of finding a wife for his son (Gen 24:3). “I will make thee swear by the Lord, the God of the heaven and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I dwell.”

This is the first warning to believers. You cannot be joined with unbelievers (2 Cor. 6:14), and this is the first thing you must keep in mind. Abraham gave his servant a very solemn warning against the daughters of the Canaanites. He was to be guided step by step by divine wisdom. We see from the scriptures that Abraham’s servant depended upon God for every detail. He did not set about this business by going to this person and that person in this matter (V.12). He applied a big test to make sure of God’s will. If he had depended on human wisdom he would have first made sure that the girl belonged to a suitable family.

But he did not have any such considerations in his mind. He thought only of God’s will in this matter, and prayed with great faith, which goes to prove that he was a man of prayer and very spiritual. He knew how to make sure of God’s will. He was not governed by his own judgment or feelings.
