Wrestling With Your Truth

Genesis 32:24-28 NIV

In the text today, God challenges Jacob to come to grips with His name and what it means. This was not easy for Jacob to do, because it meant acknowledging some hard truths that he would rather avoid. But life has a habit of sometimes forcing our hand to deal with situations we would rather avoid, and in such cases we will find that it’s always better to face the music and deal honestly with God. This is especially true when it comes to our own identity.

Sermon Challenge: Have a heart-to-heart conversation with God, and share with him the things about yourself that you are most displeased with and ashamed of.
