Join us as we read the Bible is story form to look at the big picture of God Assume Power and Devotion to His people. Though out the Bible there is a theme of Jesus so keep this in mined as you are reading. The first sing of Jesus is in Genesis 1:26 Then God said, "Let US make man in OUR image, in OUR likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."  This is the first signs of the Trinity.  
 
I pray that this will become a great adventure In Gods word.

Jacob wrestling with God 
Modified By bulldog  on 7/25/2010 6:28:40 PM)
Genesis 32:24-26

Why did God wrestle with Jacob.

Hear we find Jacob between a rock and a hard spot struggling with
The ideal of meeting up with his brother Esau how he had stolen is birth right
From some 20 year ago and God’s command to him to be there and the covenant that
God had made with him in Bethel.

GEN 31:13 I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar and where you made a vow to me.
Now leave this land at once and go back to your native land.'

GEN 28:13 -15 13 There above it stood the LORD, and he said: "I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. 14 Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. 15 I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you."

What do you think is going through Jacobs mined .

On one hand God commanded me to come here and on the other my brother in coming my way with
400 men and I fear his intent. I fear for my life Lord are you going to keep your covenant or leave me here to die.

At this point Jacob is struggling (wrestling) with his situation. His struggle is not with his brother but with God. At this time God brings his struggle to the physical realm witch in turn after a long tiring struggle Jacob is show how is really in control booth in the spiritual and physical realm.

In some studies this it the point in Jacob life that he turned his hart over to God.
