SHOOK MY FIST IN THE FACE OF GOD.AND WON.

Everyone by pure sinful nature has stress in their life. They may not wish to admit that...but it is true. Stress comes and stress goes.Usually caused by our own doing,or at least someones doing.Take for example Jacob in the book of Genesis.You see people have to live. Regardless of how we try to avoid certain situations the situations find us anyway. I love stories of ordinary men who trusted the Lord.Yet in some cases took some matters in their own hands.Jacob and Laban made a truce with each other,after some distress after some trickery by Jacob.I will ask you to read this messy situation in the book of Genesis chapter 31.In chapter 32 Jacob did something we all can do.Jacob admitted(confessed)he was not worthy of Gods love,and he was thankful for all God had blessed him with.And then he reminded God of his promises.When your in distress over ...ANYTHING.....Give it to God in prayer.Search the scriptures for Gods promises. Claim them. I mean in private talk to the heavenly Father and he will reward you in the open.Its easy to go to church and pray openly,and that's okay.But i assure you that God honors his word.In the story of Jacob you see clearly the human and the Faith he has in God. The key in all this is prayer. Talking with the heavenly Father.And sometimes we must wrestle with God.Verses 22 through 32.Oh may i be brave enough,strong enough to wrestle with God over my desires and needs. Have you ever begged and begged God for something in your life...then God gave it to you and it ended badly? I have.I loved someone so deeply one time that i shook my fist in the face of God and then he gave me my trouble.Oh how i loved that trouble. Even to this day. I now am living a blessed life that God through his mercy has given me.He saved me from my own desire.And i have grown closer to my Lord because he has opened my eyes to see.I know i am rambling on and on but what is placed on my heart is what i write at this time. I am so proud that my Heavenly Father,through Jesus Christ with his infinite mercy saved from the constant pain of my own sin.And has so much mercy on me that he shows so much patience with me. Reading about Jacob shows me how merciful our Lord is,and how understanding he is.God GAVE Jacob A NEW NAME." HE STRUGGLES WITH GOD" Let him give you that name. He loves us that much.
