Genesis 24:63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field toward evening. And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, camels were coming. [Recovery Version]
Isaac was not a man of activity, for he did not do anything. He simply dwelt by a well, by a place of living water….He went out to the field to seek the Lord and meditate before God (Genesis 24:63). While he was meditating, Rebekah came. After the servant had told Isaac all that had happened, Isaac took what his father had done for him and married Rebekah (Genesis 24:66-67). His marriage was an inheritance, not a strife….He did not do a thing to get a wife. He only took what the father had secured for him. Acting in this way, he was one with the Lord that the purpose of God might be fulfilled in him. He had a real and solid marriage without a wedding ceremony. Isaac’s marriage eventually fulfilled the purpose of God (Genesis 21:12b; 22:17-18). (Life-Study of Genesis, ch. 60)
