Wrestling ( Genesis 32 v 26 )

So here we continue to consider Jacob wrestling all night with the Angel of God,he has received a permanent limp,but he keeps on wrestling, even when he the angel requested him to let him go.His response to this request was this,''I will not let you go unless you bless me''.Jacob wanted something that was so important the blessing of God in his life. There are many who humanly speaking  have  everything,money,health,etc,all that counts for nothing if the blessing of  God is not upon their  lives. The first and most important blessing from God we all need is  the forgiveness of our sins,it cannot be bought , but we can miss it so easily. The result is truly awful ,the sin that is in our lives can continue to control us and destroy our lives,and most awful of all,take us to Hell,and shut us eternally out of Heaven. We receive the blessing of forgiveness through Christs death on the cross,but we must seek it whole heartily,as if are lives depended on it,which it does..Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered ( Psalm 32 v 1 )
