FROM PASTOR MARK, 01-27-2008

“Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak” (Genesis 32:24). The man who wrestled with Jacob was the Lord himself. Jacob was on his way back home and had to face his lying, deceitful behavior toward his brother Esau. In order to know future blessing, Jacob had to experience brokenness. The good news is that Jacob pressed on with God and allowed God to break his heart through repentance and renewal. In this life, sometimes our greatest struggles are not with the enemy but with the Lord. He presses us in order to break us of our pride and self-seeking ways. As we allow ourselves to be “conquered by God,” we come to know His awesome peace and presence. We conquer where we yield.
