Jacob is alone.
A man jumps out of the dark and attacks.
Who did Jacob think that was?
Esau?
Likely, at first, or at least one of his men.
I don’t know whom Jacob thought it was, but I know who he didn’t think it was.
He didn’t think: the Lord is here to bless me!
He prayed for protection from Esau – he needed protection from God. Esau was not his problem – God was his problem.
Our toughest battles are with God, not with the devil.
So it was with Job, who is always mentioned when it comes to suffering.
But Satan only makes a guest appearance in Job, he is gone by the second chapter.
Job’s battle is with God, not with Satan.
I. What is your name?
Why is this struggle so relentless?
Because God wants to change us, and we don’t want to change.
Why did the angel ask for Jacob’s name?
You don’t think He knew who Jacob was?
Confession.
II.
The Second Time Around.
