The Story: wrestling with God

 The Story: wrestling with God by ric gustafson


We wrestle with God daily. We wrestle with God when what we know about God's goodness, love, power, mercy and grace doesn't fit with what we experience or feel. A wrestling match with God can be exhausting. 
Jacob literally and physically wrestled with God. We do not know the details of the wrestling match. Jacob ended up with a humble heart. Jacob found out he could not prevail against Almighty God. 
God told Jacob that his name would be Israel from now on. 
Israel and us are God's chosen people.
