Morning Inspiration: The man asked him “What is your name?” “Jacob” he answered. Then the man said “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and have overcome.”
The amazing nation of Israel is named after this complex, and Biblically significant man. As it was in his life, the nation of Israel has historically struggled, but always overcome. The Bible promises that will always be the case, even in the end, with the days that many of us believe are soon to come. Pray for the nation of Israel, and our Jewish brothers and sisters, whom we are related to, through God grafting us into their family tree.
