God has promised so much to us. The breadth and depth of what God has done for us is something we’re going to marvel at for all eternity.
But sometimes, even oftentimes, we get lax and lazy. We don’t take hold of what God has done. In fact, we take it for granted. And granted to us it is! But we don’t appreciate it, we don’t build our lives upon it. We don’t trust the one who’s proven himself to be trustworthy.
So God challenges us. He starts a wrestling match with us. Not to beat us, but that we stretch ourselves in order to lay claim to what God has already promised. Like Jesus wrestling Jacob into submission, God will wrestle with us until we, too, say “Bless me, God! Bless me!”
