"Made To Lean On Him"

24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 

Genesis 32:24‭-‬25 KJV 

God touched Jacob's thigh because he wanted him to stop fighting and lean on Him.

SOMEBODY: You're literally fighting and getting nowhere, in exchange for all the energy you have extended and you don't understand why the process is not causing you to make progress. 

Could be that God wants you stop fighting (to make a way for yourself) and let him be the way by which you get all things done. 

Remember the Apostle Paul said:

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Philip 4:13 KJV 

BELOVED, Stop fighting and lean on Him. Still for those of us, so used to having everything and everybody depend on us, being vulnerable enough to lean on someone else is easier said than done; I know.

So, God has to touch some things in our lives, not to harm us, but to make us stop, make us slow down, make us stop fighting.

In Song Of Solomon 8:5 NKJ the question is asked:

Who is this coming up from the wilderness, Leaning upon her beloved? 

In order to get us to lean on Him, be vulnerable with him, in order to get us to a place where we are coming up out of the wilderness, out that situation with a lean, with a limp that depends solely on his grace & mercy....He touches some things, he allows some things to hurt, to be felt like he did Jacob.

Because we were never meant to keep ourselves. We were designed to need God, made to be vulnerable at times, made to lean on Him, surrender to Him.

Jesus for example:

He had disciples who followed him, who depended on him, and in The Garden he struggled with being vulnerable, with releasing his will to the Father. He struggled. Mentally, he fought, finally he surrendered, he was made to lean and so he did; and so should we. 

Luke 22

Until Next Sunday.
