September 14 Morning: "And Jacob said ... I have enough" - Gen 33:10,11

"WE BROUGHT NOTHING INTO THIS WORLD." Yet the Lord prospers us with many things. Jacob left his father's house with only a staff but he returned with two bands, so greatly had the Lord increased 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 matchless love; as interest in the everlasting covenant. By these we are entitled to all the promises of God; we are invited to come to the throne of grace to receive all we need; we are directed to cast all our care upon God, and 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 gratitude, enough to make the angels wonder. O Lord Jesus! to what a height have You raised us! With what great, lasting, and glorious blessings have You blessed us! Everlasting praises and eternal glory to Your excellent name!

For Meditation:
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;
Possessed of Him, I want no more.
