Wrestling With Sanctification

NASB

Wesley’s Explanatory Notes, www.biblemaster.com In this chapter Jacob's dying words are recorded, because he speaks by a spirit of prophecy; Abraham's and Isaac's are not. God's gifts and graces shine forth much more in some than in others upon their death-beds. I. Joseph ...read more

Wrestling With God (Genesis 32)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 12, 2024

Do we wrestle with God in prayer or do we give up? Let's look at Genesis 32.

Jacob’s name meant a heel catcher, someone who gets ahead by slowing someone else down. God had prophesied to Rebekah that the older would serve the younger, but Jacob took the inheritance and the blessing by tricking his brother. Was his suffering under a wage-cheating father-in-law a good lesson ...read more
