Remembering the words of Abraham, that God would send His angel with him, he prayed earnestly for positive guidance.....and he now asked that an act of courtesy might indicate the maiden whom God had chosen. No one who fears God can without danger connect himself with one who fears Him not. Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Amos 3:3.. the influence of an unbelieving companion will have a tendency to lead away from God.
Young people too often feel that the bestowal of their affections is a matter in which self alone should be consulted--a matter that neither God nor their parents should in any wise control. Long before they have reached manhood or womanhood they think themselves competent to make their own choice, without the aid of their parents. A few years of married life are usually sufficient to show them their error, but often too late to prevent its baleful results.
Many have thus wrecked their happiness in this life and their hope of the life to come.
