Wrestling with God

We learn in Scripture how God wrestled Jacob to the ground one night and turned him upside down—so he could live right-side up. Jacob became a “prince” with God instead of a pain.

When we’re suffering the consequences of our own poor choices; when we’re bearing the brunt of someone’s vengeance and anger; when we feel absolutely on our own and life is not working out as planned, that’s when God will turn up. He wants to walk down the stairway of heaven right into our hearts to make us aware of His personal interest and concern.
