Title: Let's Wrestle with God [Genesis 32:22~30]
Contents
People face many problems in life on this earth. These problems can be classified as follows.
(1) What can be solved by human power
(2) Things that can only be solved with the help of others
(3) Problems that cannot be solved by human power
Therefore, when faced with a problem, it is necessary to first properly judge the nature of the problem and respond to it with the right action appropriate to the situation. In many cases, people believe in themselves too much and try to solve it on their own, but fall into a bigger pit, and in other cases, they give up without the motivation to try on their own.
I What will the Saints do when faced with problems?
It can be said that the most fundamental way for believers to do when faced with a problem is to wrestle with God. When Jacob was in a crisis in his life, he met an angel of God at the river Jabbok and wrestled with him. Thus Jacob was given the glorious name of "Israel." The secret of the greatest victory for the saints who always reside on this earth is to wrestle with God. The reason for this is as follows.
(1) Human helplessness
Human power is limited, and human wickedness sometimes makes the results worse.
(2) It is because the way to solve problems lies in God.
Good answers are given to anyone who asks before the living God.
Therefore, Jesus also commanded, "Ask of God the Father."
(3) Because God is a good father and always loves His children.
(4) Because we are God's beloved children.
Believers have the right to pray. He who asks in faith receives all of the Father
