Wrestling With the Almighty
”And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.” –Genesis 32:26
In the story of Jacob’s wrestling with a “man” (possibly an Old Testament appearance of Christ), we learn what it is to hold on to God until we receive the blessing. Don’t you know this mighty angelic being could have crushed the weak, frail Jacob in an instant? Instead they wrestle through the night.
We often wonder why God allows us to wait so long on an answer to prayer, but He has His purposes. He often tests our tenacity and our faith. Real faith hangs on to God. We can never bully God into answering our prayers, but we can certainly seek Him with importunate persistence. This persistent praying gives glory to God by proclaiming our believe that He is able!
What do you need to hang on to God for today? Keep on praying until He answers or until He adjusts what you need to be praying for.
