what comes to your mind when you think of Jacob? (Genesis 32)

must say, for the many people that i have talked to before, not many holds jacob as someone that they want to model after from the old testament. however, there's something special about him that God adores, and God admires. :)

Jacob held onto God, and would not let Him go, until God blessed him.

what struck me from the teaching was that, there's no time which we can say, "there's nothing else that i can do; i've already done all that i can.".

cos, we can always do one thing, and that is to hold on, hang on. we can be down, but with God, we are never out. we also need to trust God, and have a biblical understanding of blessings. (Psalms 67:1-2).

so, be a Jacob today! hold onto God, for His faithfulness and love endureths forever!
