A Perfect Relationship

JUDY RIEDER CROTCHETT

A relationship which was entirely God-directed, a situation in which each person was obedient to God's will, is recorded in the twenty-fourth chapter of Genesis.

The Bible implies that Abraham always sought and followed God's guidance. When it came time for his son Isaac to marry, Abraham commanded his servant to go to another land and bring back a wife for Isaac. Upon hearing of his assignment, the servant expressed apprehension. But Abraham immediately turned upon the expression of doubt, with this reassurance for the servant (verse 40): "The Lord... will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way."
