Genesis 32

“But Jacob said, ‘I will not let you go unless you bless me'” (Genesis 32:26)

Jacob spends a dark night of the soul wrestling with God. God changes his name from Jacob (pulling my leg/deceiver) to Israel (wrestled with God). Jacob walks with a limp the rest of his life, but he has a new identity from God. Have you ever experienced a dark night of the soul, wrestling with God?

“Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and have overcome” (Genesis 32:28)

God is still offering name/identity changes to those who seek Him. What’s your name?
