God All-Sufficient

God all-sufficient give you mercy before the man. Genesis  43:14

Jacob had been dealt with by Jehovah in every aspect of his being; from Laban to Leah to Rachael to his children. A supplanter, clever and cunning Jacob, after all the severe dealings both inward and outward was gradually transformed to become Israel, a "God wrestler?" and "a prince of God!"

This matter touched me  very deeply as I was studying his life from the Life-Study of Genesis. The manifold and magnitude of the dealings changed his being, transforming and eventually made him mature by the gaining of God as he is being emptied out degree after degree, until finally, he matured enough to understand the God of mercy who had been with him all the days of his life. Now being matured, he recognised the sovereignty of God in everything and experienced Him well as the God of mercy, the God all-sufficient meeting his need, and blessing everyone. That's when he could say with the robbing him of his heartiest choice, his beloved remaining son, Benjamin, take him "God all-sufficient give you mercy before the man." 

Today, I had planned to do certain specific things, yet I left it to the Lord. Unexpectedly, one by one, all the plan were either delayed or cancelled, and God brought to my office a brother and his mother, who is an unbeliever. In lieu of all my personal agendas for today, I ended up witnessing to this unbelieving aunty, for 5 long hours,  and finally led her to pray to receive the Lord. She willingly received the Lord. Halleluiah! God knows what is best at what time. 

This is my need of the hour; to be open to the Lord for whatever He will do. All the circumstances are just His perfect plan to gain me, deal with me, transform me and make me mature, and everything arranged  by  Him is perfect.

 Lord, amen to all You want to do, I give myself to You, transform me and make me mature.
