Desire to wrestle with him
I just have to say last night, I dunno but When we were reading genesis chapter 32 two verses really affected me Genesis 32:25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him .and Genesis 32:29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there. ......going back to what ben said about verse 25, how at that point jacob wasnt able to depend on body anymore, but how he had to depend on God at that point when his body failed him. It just taught me how i depend on myself way to much, how I need to put more effort to ask him for help, something that always is a continuing struggle. and also verse 29....just when i think im close to God,this verse showed me how far away I was from him. I may say i read the bible and i learn things but that's just head knowledge, but this verse showed me how I need to cling on to him, and really spend time with him in his presence and desire to know his name even more.
