Devotional

                                                                Genesis  24:63
                                    ":Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide"

      When our relations are entering into new condition, we offer prayer to commend them to the blessing and grace of God.  Isaac was blessed when he met Rebekah.  He went out to take the advantage of a silent evening, and a solitary place, for meditation and prayer.  The same divine way that we converse with God and our own hearts.
      Holy Souls love retirement, it will do us good to be often alone,and we are never less alone than when alone.  Isaac was so affectionate; it was three years since his mother died but it was just at this point he was comforted.  Isaac was an affectionate husband to his wife Rebekah as well.  A wise man once said: "He that fills up his first station in life with honor, is likely to do the same in those that follow."
