wrestling

Genesis 32:24
24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak.

Jacob wrestling with a man/ angel/ God is a fascinating story. Like Nacho Libre, without the comedy. Jacob struggling with his life, the poor choices he has made in his life, and his future. God appears to him and they wrestle it out.

Wrestling with God in the quiet to the night is not a rare phenomenon. Even atheists do it. It’s called the “conscience.” So whether deliberately or subconsciously, night wrestling may be the only time God finds us open enough to listen.

Pray for God to bug you tonight if you need bugging.
