When the man saw that he
did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob's hip was
put out of joint as he wrestled with him. 26 Then he said, “Let me go, for the day has
broken.” But Jacob said, “I will
not let you go unless you bless me.” Genesis
32:25-26 esv
What are God’s intentions? This scene of Jacob wrestling
with God is very confusing yet intriguing. The Bible and our lives often makes
us wonder what God’s purposes are in the way He deals with us. God could have
simply made Jacob do whatever it was He wanted His servant to do. But as we
keep seeing the Lord doesn’t operate that way. He wants us to willingly serve
Him.
What
are God’s intentions with you? What is He
trying to show you? Jesus wants you to grow up spiritually and in the knowledge
of His Word. But He will not force you to do anything. Do you ever feel like
you’re wrestling with God? How is that working for you? Do you willingly serve the Lord?
