Wrestling With God

-January 14, 2026-

Good morning beloved, happy Wednesday,

“Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day.”

(Genesis 32:24).

Jacob knew he would soon face his older brother Esau after about twenty years, Esau hated Jacob for taking his blessing; He vowed to kill Jacob.

He had already sent his wife, children, servants, and livestock ahead and made a plan to save his family. Fortunately, he never needed it.

This wrestling match was with Lord and Jacob. This is pre-incarnate appearance of Christ in the OT. The wrestling lasted all night. Jacob refused to let go until morning,

Wrestling with God when we have no where to turn, we go to God in fervent, urgent prayer. The Lord had struggled with God and men, and prevailed.

May we have a blessed day. Stay safe and healthy.

Hold onto the Lord with a tight grip on the Lord,
