“And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.”
He went out to the field one evening to meditate, and as he looked up, he saw camels approaching. Isaac is meditating in the field when the caravan arrives — the contemplative, inward character of Isaac is captured in this single detail. Psalm 1:2 describes the blessed person meditating day and night. Isaac's meditative posture at the moment of receiving his wife is the portrait of a man whose inner life is ordered. The application: the posture in which you receive the provision God sends reflects the character you have developed in the waiting.
