Wrestlemania!

Today I was thinking about Jacob wrestling with God in Genesis 32:24 all night until the sun is about to come up. Now I know there have been sermon after sermon about this but I thought about what Seraph told Neo in Matrix: Reloaded; he says you don't really know a person till you fight them. That's pretty interesting right if you think about it; I mean you can fight a person for so long that you can know their strengths and weaknesses and beyond that you figure out their will and their character. Jacob got that very same revelation about God in their wrestling match. Jacob lost of course but a very wise promoter Paul Heyman says it's good to get your butt kick sometimes and in the end, that helped Jacob go from being a father of a lot kids to being a father of a nation. Now I know the old saying is that our arms are too short to box with God but I think we still have to have that face off with God so that He can push us to who we are destined to be; once we submit our flawed will to His perfect will.
