Genesis 32 — Israel — Overcoming the Struggles of Life in Christ Jacob was stuck in the patterns of his old ways of deception and self reliance. [Genesis 32:1-8, 13-21] Jacob knew much about the God of his fathers but had yet to fully surrender his life to the LORD. [Genesis 32:9-12] Jacob finally met God face to face in a time of desperation and was brought to the end of himself. [Genesis 32:22-32] Jacob’s encounter with God forever changed his identity, mentality, and destiny. [Genesis 32:22-32] In this world we will suffer many troubles, but Israel will overcome by faith in Jesus Christ. [1 John 5:3-5] As We Go …. Remember that God never promises us a life without struggle and suffering, but He promises to be with us through it all to the very end.
