Description: Up until this point, Jacob had relied on himself, his strength and his cunning, to claw and grasp for everything. Now God wanted to show him that real strength, comes from clinging to Him through faith. And that’s especially true during times of pain and opposition. This object lesson wasn’t wasted on Jacob. Instead of crushing Jacob, God gave him the victory. And through faith God has also given us the prize of forgiveness and everlasting life.
