This is Jacob's prayer. "I will not let you go unless you bless me" Genesis 32:26.
Jacob wrestled with God and said, "I will not let you go unless you bless me". God did bless him, but he held on and wrestled with God until He received it.
How many times do we hold on and then in an instant we just let go because we do not get an answer? I am guilty of this over and over again.
The HS brought this to my attention this week, and I believe it was from God letting me know directly that I need to hold on. It's okay to remind God that I am not going to let go until I receive a blessing from Him.
I used to think it was wrong to beg God and demand blessings. It's not so much demanding as it is reminding God what He has already spoken and what He has already done. I need the Lord and I need to hang on for dear life and not give up on my blessings, we all do. What if our blessing was to come the very next day, but today we are tired and we just give up and walk away.
How do we wrestle with God? Is this wrong? I believe God brought me to this knowledge so I can RECEIVE.
Your thoughts??
