“My brother, I have plenty,” Esau
answered. “Keep what you have for
yourself.” But Jacob insisted, “No, if I have
found favor with you, please accept this gift
from me…for God has been very gracious
to me. I have more than enough.”
Genesis 33:9–11, NLT

Grace Flows When You Stop Struggling

Most people would have given up on Jacob,
the scheming deceiver and manipulator. But
not God.
One night, while attempting to appease the
brother he had stolen from, Jacob met the
Lord. He grabbed hold of the Lord and for
hours, tried to wrestle a blessing from Him.
What did the Lord do? He touched Jacob’s
hip socket and put it out of joint, so that
Jacob wound up helpless before the Lord.
The Lord changed Jacob that night. He
showed Jacob how it was only when Jacob’s
grabbing and wrestling finally stopped that
His grace was able to flow. That night, God
changed Jacob’s name from “deceiver” to
“prince” (Israel), and added to him
blessings that were beyond his own efforts.
You see, we cannot try to wrestle blessings
from God. It is when we give up on our
scheming, deceiving and manipulating to
get ahead in life, and completely trust His
grace alone that His provision flows
unabated.

Henceforth you will not struggle again in life!
Christ supernatural grace and unmerited
favor will rest upon you now and forever in
Jesus name!

Have a blessed week

Amen

More graace to you brother.
