Devotional 11/02: Wrestling with G-d
I had fallen and I could not get up.
I had fallen and I did not want to get up.
But you ordered me up so I jumped up and grabbed you.
I held on tight and I would not let go.
(Was it wrestling or holding? I don’t know)
You told me to let you go, but I said, “No, I will not let you until you bless me.”
There was NOTHING else I could do.
All I could do is not let you go.
All I could do is hang on.
I saw the sun coming up.
You touched my hip and it hurt.
But I would not let you go.
I said, “No, I will not let you go until you bless me.”
When I asked you your name you would not tell me.
But because I asked you and saw you and hung to you, you blessed me.
For my strivings with you, you changed my name.
My name is Israel.
