Wrestling of Blessing

I want to call "half-time" on the questions from Solomon's Survey for a moment and bring to mind a great message from Scripture about our persistence and how sometimes our Blessings come through wrestling with God!

Not Letting Go
In Genesis 32.22-30, we see how Jacob wrestles with God...

A man came and fought with Jacob until just before daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not win, he struck Jacob on the hip and threw it out of joint. 26 They kept on wrestling until the man said, "Let go of me! It's almost daylight."

"You can't go until you bless me," Jacob replied...And he blessed Jacob.

Do you feel as though you are in a Wrestling match with God?...keep going, your Blessing could be right around the corner!

Don't Give Up: The Book of Proverbs gives us a dose of wisdom...

Don't give up and be helpless in times of trouble. (Proverbs 24:10 CEV)

If you fall to pieces in a crisis, there wasn't much to you in the first place. (Proverbs 24:10 MSG)

Are You In The Match?
Are you wrestling right now?...are you in the match of your life?...keep going...be persistent and don't give up...we want to hear about your wrestling of blessing!

Thanks for reading...God Save You and Grant You Success!
Psalm 118:25 (NIV)
