Commentary on Genesis 31:9

Theological / Devotional

God hath taken away. Jacob felt, perhaps, that had it not been God’s will to bless him, his own efforts would not have succeeded. Therefore, and not without reason, he deemed it right to attribute his increased wealth to God’s benevolent care. It is certain that he felt his own devices and the blessing of God not to be mutually exclusive.
