This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen_29:6 And he said unto them, [Is] he well? And they said, [He is] well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
Ver. 6. And, behold, Rachel his daughter.] Note, that our least and ordinary actions are ordered and directed by God; as Nathanael’s being under the fig tree, {Joh_1:48} &c. Birds flying seem to fly at liberty, yet are guided by an overruling hand of Heaven: so are our thoughts, affections, actions. Sic curat Deus universos, quasi singulos; sic singulos, quasi solos , saith Augustine, Rachel, by a divine providence, meets Jacob at the well: so doth the Church (that shepherdess, Son_1:7-8) meet Christ in his ordinances. {Psa_23:2-3}
