When you are blessed by God with the blessings of salvation in Jesus Christ, you have enough. If you will notice; both Esau and Jacob said that they had enough in this text. Esau says it first in verse 9, when Jacob tells him of the gift that he has for him. "I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself." And Jacob says it in verse 11, "Please take my blessing that is brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough." The words "enough" that were spoken by Jacob and Esau, in the original language, are two different words. The word "enough" that Esau spoke means that he had enough worldly goods that he did not need Jacob's gift. But the word "enough" that Jacob spoke means "all things". "God has dealt graciously with me, and because of His graciousness to me, I have "all things". Jacob has "all things" because he has God for his God. Even so, all those who have Jesus Christ for their Savior have "all things" as well. The question that I pose to you this morning is this. What are the "all things" that Jacob has, which Esau does not have, even though Esau says that he has enough? I think that if we look at the text that we can see that there are 4 things which were manifested in Jacob's spirit, which show us that God had dealt graciously with him. They show that he indeed had "all things".
