birthright of God and his father’s bless
ing
And I say, just at this point, that
this is God’s way of healing differ
ences, and of healing grievances be
tween men and families and friends.
God, when He takes hold of a situa
tion like that, always winds it up in
this wise. Whenever you hear terms
laid down for the bringing of men
and women together who have been
at outs, you may know that there
never has been a Jabbok back of it.
For if there has, there is no place
whatever for terms of peace, between
men and women to be made. When
we pass through that Jabbok experi
ence that he had, and have ourselves
been conquered and mastered as Jar
cob was; when we have wrestled and
wrestled until we could not any more,
and God at last has got the victory,
we have no disposition whatever to
lay down any terms for anybody. We
are just like Jacob, we are anxious to
bestow all the blessing we can, we
will go all the way rather than half
way! We hear some folks say, “Yes,
I will meet you, but I will meet you
half way.” My friend, you want to
meet God, and have a bit of wrest
ling! What you want is a spiritual
gymnasium with God in charge; not
a meeting place between you and
your brother.
Then you hear people talk some
times like this,* particularly women;
“I will forgive her, but I will not
forget!” No! You will not forgive—
you cannot forgive —until you forget.
I do not mean to forget the fact, be
cause we can never forget facts.
Before this Jabbok experience Ja
cob thought he could buy his brother
by offerings and presents. He thought
he could hedge him off by sending his
servants ahead, and all that kind of
conniving. But now, there is nothing

(Continued from page two.)
of that in him! The Lord has knock
ed it all out of him. And Jacob comes
out of that Jabbok experience, say
ing, “I will go all the way; I will for
give and forget, if only I can get
peace.” And I think it was for Ja
cob’s own sake, too, that he wanted
this thing. He had suffered a great
deal more than Esau had. Jacob had
suffered deep down in his heart be
cause he knew he had done his broth.-
era gross wrongi, and all during
these twenty years he had hid a
troubled conscience—he was in pur
gatory. And so he was anxious that
they might meet again and get the
thing settled. And how much better
it was for them both! How much bet
ter it was so rtheir families and for
everybody! God help us to make it
so in our experience.
Let us now get a practical sum
mary of the teaching:
1. Prayer is the surest way to God’s
arrangements. There are two ways
of trying to meet God’s arrangements
so rour lives. One is by appealing to
the very best that there is in our
selves. There is a large school of
teachers today that are trying to per
suade us that this is the need of the
world, to get men and women to re
alize that there is within them some
thing which, if it can be brought out
and developed, will enable them to
realize God’s highest ideals for their
life. But there is also a school of
teachers who realize that there is
nothing in man that is not fallen.
That when man went down in the
Garden of Eden, everything went down
with him, spiritually, mentally, physi
cally. And therefore the only way
for man to realize God’s highest ideal
for his life is by falling upon the gra
cious mercy of a merciful God. And
that can be done only by prayer. It
is very clear that the Bible teaches
the latter; and here we have in the
case of Jacob and E’sau a very clear
example of it. Jacob was trying ev
erything to bring, relief, and finally,
as the very last resort, we find him
falling down and crying unto God.
How easily and quickly God comes to
the rescue! Almost immediately after
he made that prayer God begins the
working out of his plans for the
bringing of these brothers together
in peace and harmony.
2. The eye of self-discernment is
best operative when we are left alone.
Do you understand what it means to
be left alone? “Well,” you say, “of
course I do: it is to be left in a posi
tion where there is no one else
around.” But it means more than
that! It means that you are to be
left where you not only have no one
else around that you can rely upon,
or snuggle up to, but it means that
you are not to have anything else
around that you can snuggle up to.
That is what it means. That you are
not even to have a dog: for a dog
may keep you from proper introspec
tion. It means that you are not even
to have a cat, though you may be a
woman! It means that you are not
even to have a picture or a
book or a musical instrument, or a
piece of music or anything that you
can get the least bit of comfort out
of, that you can fall back upon. You
are to be absolutely and wholly alone,
if you want to get a proper estimate
of yourself. Try that some' 'time!
Get alone! Get to the place where
there is nothing you can rely on or
get comfort out of. And there in that
lonely place turn the eye down into
the soul and see how you stand be
fore God.
3. The way to conquor others is to
let God conquer us. O how Jacob
had tried to conquer his brother Esau
in various ways! By running from
him, thinking that perhaps he would
soon get over this thing, and that he
could come back and leave the past.
By various schemes that he concoct
ed: but they did not work. And now
he gets clear with God, and is willing
to ask pardon of Esau. There is not
a difference that exists between man
and man that cannot be healed as
easy as that, if they only went at it
in the right way. Selfishness is at
the root of all differences between
peoples. The refusal to bow the knee
and submit to the principle of God
as the basis of the solution of all the
problems in life, is the trouble that
keeps men apart.
4. We should never attempt our
way, until we are sure we have al
lowed God to have His way. It will
do us well to remember that, because
most of us are desirous of success.
A man who has no concern about
success in his life, is not worth his
life. People talk to me sometimes
about being ambitious, and they fear
that we have too much. There is no
danger of a man having too much.
A man may have an improper ambi
tion. But a man cannot be too am
bitious for the right thing. Now re
member that success always comes
along the line of the plan of God.
5. When we do God’s will as though
it were OURS, we shall soon find God
doing our wills as though they were
HIS. Now, you take that in! You
do God’s will as though it were yours,
and you will soon find Him doing
your will as though it were His! But
somebody says “God never works up
on the line of our wills.” No, he don’t
have to, if we do His will as though
it were ours, He then does His will
and ours too, and both parties are
served.
6. When we are right with God,
distances are short, and differences
are slight. One of the prettiest texts
in the Bible is this: “And Jacob serv
ed seven years for Rachael; and they
seemed unto him but a few days, for
the love he had for her.”
Pretty strong love that could con
tract seven years into just a few days!
It depends altogether whom you are
keeping company with hom the time
flies. You remember that occasion
when our Lord saw His disciples out
there in the boat, and He struck out
across the water to walk to them
You remember how frightened they
were because they thought perhaps
He was a ghost. Then finally He got
into the boat, and listen! here is one
of the most remarkable statements I
have ever run up with, “And imme
diately, the ywere at the shore.” Now
that is not so! They were miles out
in the sea. But I will tell you why
I think it is there. It is just chroni
cling the thing exactly as it appeared,
as far as their measurement of time!
They had been in a raging storm,
without Jesus, and now He is with
them, and there is no reckoning of
time!
And so it is said of Jacob that
though he served for Rachael seven
years, it seemed as a few days be
cause he loved her.
So it is with us, when we are right
with God. When He is on board, in
charge of the sails of the ship of our
life, there is no of time.
It is all a moment when we are
charmed, conquered, and directed by
the hand of infinite Love.
