Oct. 17, 2010 -- Wrestling with God

Readings: Genesis 32:22-31 Psalm 121 2 Timothy3:14-4:5 Luke 18:1-8 Jacob wrestles at the ford of the river Jabbok and receives a name change for his encounter.  In this encounter, God proves his faithfulness by remaining close to us even when we are not the people he desires us to be.  Our wrestling with God tells us a great deal about both God and ourselves.
