Wrestling ( Genesis 32 v 26 )

So there was Jacob wrestling with an angel and the angel requests of Jacob to let him go, but Jacob had other  ideas ,and this is what he replied,''I will not let you go unless you  bless me''.  ( Genesis 32 v 26)  Why did he request this?,here is an answer,  its found in ,Proverbs  10 v 22, 'The blessing of the Lord ,it maketh rich , and addeth  no sorrow with it. ''. My ,  no wonder he wanted to be blessed   ,consider the following,' I'll that He blesses  is our good and unblest good is ill, and all is right that seems most wrong if it be His sweet will'.Later on Jacob would experience heartache when Joseph his favourite son was perceived dead ,but this man had Gods blessing upon him, and it all worked out for good.
