Today I read Genesis 32:22-32. The title of this passage is “Jacob Wrestles With God.” What does this mean? I think it means Jacob was struggling with God, as I do. Thus, the biblical principle is simply Jacob, who lived at least before 2,000 B.C., and believers and non-believers continue to wrestle or struggle with God or Jesus Christ, because our Father relentlessly intercedes or draws us to Him (like a current) and we continue to struggle with this intercession or His will.
Yesterday my family and our friend Tralee had a lot of fun white water rafting on the Stillwater River with our guide Tim and his lab dog Chocó. I noticed that every time we came to a rapid Tim would say to paddle through it. At first I did not understand why. The river was especially strong at these rapids so the raft did not need us to paddle to propel it. Then it occurred to me that paddling through the rapids helped the raft go with the current.
