The Wrestler was, is and
will always
grapple with us, His loyal matmen.
But in our matches, rather
than a pin,
All He wants is our sure submission.
If it takes all night, or
night after night,
all He wants is full our trust in Him.
Sometimes we think we can
even win,
if we can just sink the halfie deep,
If we can slip the single
leg fast enough,
maybe His Will will bend to ours.
Sometimes we see only our
opponents
and forget God is standing there.
All He ever wants from His
own team
is that we not wrestle against Him,
but let Him do it for us.
Genesis 32:22-32
Revelation 1:8 |

As morning began to break,
Jacob's fierce and determined
clinch on God to win or
not lose his wrestling match with
God transformed into a humble
clinging to Him. That trans-
formation began when God
mercifully let Jacob know he
could not possibly win the
match by injuring his hip with
but a mere touch. That realization,
of Who he was actually
dealing with, and that it
was God's love for him that kept
Him from utterly destroying
him, led Jacob to finally and
thankfully ask for God's
blessing going forward.
"For when I am weak, God
is strong...at His strongest in me."
2 Corinthians 12:10
