In the familiar story of Jacob wrestling with God there were a few things that only added to this match. Jacob was not only struggling with God, but with the painful awareness that he had sinned against his brother…and even though apparently he was a man of considerable strength and craftiness, Jacob was no match for God. So instead of admitting his wrong, Jacob struggled. A whole lot of what we call “struggling” is simply, like Jacob, delayed obedience. We know deep down what’s right and wrong, the Holy Spirit has been hammering home the cold hard truth, but still we choose to have a tug-of-war of the wills between God and ourselves…but in doing so, we’re just prolonging the inevitable. For God is Sovereign and He knows best. And beside, He is God and we are not.
