Wrestling With God

Jeffrey Kent Episode 123

Life is filled with struggles of all kinds.  We struggle within ourselves with choices and responses to life situations.  We struggle with relating to others.  We even struggle with trying to understand God, and why He does or does not do certain things.  Jacob's life was one struggle after another.  His life is a picture of the life of every believer.  When he returned to Canaan, he wrestled with the angel - a snapshot of his whole life.  He was told: "...you have striven with God and with men and have prevailed."  Is this true of us?  Of you?
