When I was a kid I didn't want to be a cop, firefighter, or anything that kids really wanted to be at a young age. I wanted to be like Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, or Razor Ramon. I wanted to be a professional Wrestler! I would practice my skills I gained from watching these men on my dad and brother. I would lose every time! I never became a professional wrestler, or did I?
In scripture (Genesis 32:22-32) we see Jacob wrestling with God and as I've gotten older, I find myself wrestling with God all the time! Like Jacob, we too wrestle with decisions and, sometimes, even with God.
"God, why did you allow this to happen to me?" "God, why am I struggling so much with this issue?" We've all asked those questions at one point or another. While they are challenging, there is one thing that I do know, God will wrestle with us until He gets our full attention, no matter what it takes. Jacob learned that the hard way, and in fact was forced to limp around for the rest of his life as a reminder that his life was forever changed that night.
If you are wrestling with God today, just remember His record. I think it's something like a couple, maybe two three wins. I'm kidding. He has never lost, and He never will. So you might want to tap out and submit to Him. If you do that, He will take your circumstances and bless you in the way He sees fit which is always the best way. So, whatever it is you've been wrestling God with for days, months or even years, face the fact that He has already won and start following His plan for your life. In the end, you will see it is a whole lot easier than what you had planned. So just tap!
