Genesis 24:3-4 …You will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am dwelling. But you shall go to my country and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Isaac. [Recovery Version]
Abraham’s living was a practical living in oneness with the Lord…..Although Abraham was desperate to take care of his son’s marriage, he would not accept a Canaanite as Isaac’s wife….[Abraham] sent his oldest servant far away, back to the country from where he came, to find a wife for Isaac. Although God never told Abraham to do this, what Abraham did was according to God’s inner will and concept….When we live in oneness with Him, we shall share His concept, and whatever we think and do will be in accordance with His feeling. God will not need to say anything, for we shall sense what He senses, knowing His inner feeling because we live in oneness with Him. Abraham moved in accordance with God’s economy (Genesis 24:3-8). What he did in obtaining a wife for Isaac was for the fulfillment of God’s eternal purpose. (Life-study of Genesis, ch. 60)
