In Genesis 32, we find the story of possibly the first-ever wrestling match – between a man named Jacob and God – where there was nowhere for Jacob to run or hide. Jacob’s story juxtaposes the sovereign rule of God and the tragic flaws within each of us. Jacob was a scoundrel… a cheat… and a grabber… YET – because of God’s sovereign plan and despite Jacob’s flaws, God used Jacob as the father of the nation of Israel. Jacob’s story reminds us that God can take our failures and use them for His glory and our good!
