Restoring the messy


Jacob wrestles with GodGenesis 32 is the account of Jacob preparing to meet his brother Esau. If ever there was a mess to clean up it was this relationship between two brothers that had gone on for a long time. How can this messy relationship be restored? With man, it is impossible but with God, all things are possible! According to the scripture Jacob was.wrestling with a strange man (angel/God) on the river bank all night long. He was holding his own against the man and wouldn't let go until the man blessed him. So the man changed his name from Jacob (deceiver) to Israel (struggles with God).

This encounter with the main character of the Bible left Jacob with a limp but prepared him to restore the messy relationship between he and his brother in a way that completely honored God and his brother. The brothers met the next day and miraculously completely restored their broken messy brotherhood and continued on their ways with a renewed bonding. Both men were changed over the years and now their messy family could be restored by this name changing experience with God that sent both men out from there doing what God had purposed for them to do!

Maybe that's the key to restoring messes for everyone, keep holding on to God and don't let go until He blesses you! He will change your name too and restore your messiest circumstances!
