"And Jacob said, I have enough: or, I have all things." Genesis 33:9; Genesis 33:11
POOR Jacob left his father’s house with only a staff, but he returned with two bands; so greatly had the Lord prospered him. But it was not his earthly possessions, but the kindness of his brother, and the grace of his God, which led him to exclaim, "I have enough: or, I have all things." Beloved, such language becomes us, as the objects of Jehovah’s everlasting love; as interest in the well-ordered covenant; as entitled to all the promises; as invited to come to the Throne of grace to receive all we need; as directed to cast all our cares upon God; as having a warrant to expect every good thing on earth, and glory at the journey’s end; ought we not to rejoice and shout, "I have enough," Enough to make me happy; enough to make me holy; enough to fill me with gratitute; enough to fill angels with wonder, and devils with envy and vexation. O Jesus! to what a height hast Thou raised us! With what great, lasting, and glorious blessings hast Thou blessed us! Everlasting praises to Thy name, and eternal glory to Thy sovereign grace!
Jesus is all I wish or want!
For Him I pray, I thirst, I pant:
Let others after earth aspire;
Christ is the treasure I desire;
He is an all-sufficient store;
Possess’d of Him, I wish no more.
