Jacob wrestled with an angel all night, and prevailed. Of course Jacob represents the natural man. The angel had to touch (wound) Jacob in the thigh (the strongest part of natural man) and that changed not only Jacob's walk (carnal) but also his name, Israel (prince of God). Big story told here. If we want God to bless us, as Jacob did, we must know that our dependence upon our natural ability must be changed. We must become crippled in our natural walk, and depend upon the Lord for our strength. And secondly, our names will be changed by that spiritual encounter. Now we have become the sons of God. It does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know when He comes we will be like Him. What a blessed promise. So, Lord, wound me and change my walk for the rest of my life, so that I may know to not lean upon the flesh, but to acknowledge you in all my steps. Be blessed.
