A. B. Simpson believed that the greatest need of every human heart is to know the resources and sufficiency of God. The scriptural illustrations of God's intervention in multiplied and sometimes miraculous ways are for our encouragement today.

• God's dealings with Elijah and Elisha reveal that He is the God who removes obstacles and intervenes in emergencies.
• God's dealings with Paul show that He displays His power in startling and sometimes painful ways.
• God's dealings with Jacob acknowledge that He patiently works with those who have a bent toward Him no matter what kind of persons they are.
• God's dealings with Esther unfold the fact that God brings together circumstances and individuals to accomplish His will.
• God's dealings with Job affirm that although man's resources are inadequate in times of crisis, God provides and restores.

God wants to be involved with His people. Has a purpose and plan for each believer--including you!
