—Genesis 24:1-9

In marriage, it is important to be “equally yoked.” Abraham recognized this and wanted to be sure that Isaac had the opportunity to marry someone of like faith. He wanted Isaac to be able to carry on the heritage from the Lord that he had been brought up in. Today, it is a little more difficult for us to be sure that our children make good choices for their mate. We cannot arrange or handpick their spouse or even their friends, but we can pray! We may not be able to control all of the choices that our children make, but we can place them in the hands of the Father and pray that he will guide them, provide for them, and give them a bright future; whatever that may hold!
