Such-and-Such Things
“And he [the angel] said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he [Jacob] said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me...And he blessed him there.” The main problem with God’s children today is that we are too easily satisfied. Our contentment with having less of God than He intended is contemptible. It is always too soon to quit when seeking God’s fullness. But in this area we once again prove “all have…come short of the glory of God.”
There is more to be had than the initial appetizer and small salad that follows. Most do not hang around for the main course; and few there are who stay for the delicious dessert. God serves His courses in order and in perfect timing. I’m sure most of us would have left the party early had we been with Jacob that memorable night. But by hanging out till the breaking of the day, he found his Host to be more than gracious.
Had David not given-in so soon, God said, “I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.”
