When we are in a time of difficulty, we often need to remind ourselves that it is God who creates the smith. God knows the temperature of our trial and He has His smiths use their bellows to heat it up to just the right temperature to make us malleable.
He has also created those who desire to destroy us. If we are in His hands we need not worry, He will use them to work in us.
God used Esau’s anger and desire to destroy Jacob to drive Jacob to despair so that he would wrestle with God. After God had done His work, He turned Esau’s heart away from killing Jacob. Psalm 76:10 says, “Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee, the remainder of wrath shalt Thou restrain.” God truly is over all!
