God dislocated Jacob’s hip in an encounter with the old shyster. I would rather know God and walk through life with a limp than to walk perfectly on my own. I would rather that He bring me to a place of brokenness. I would rather that He force me in a wrestling match to face myself and my God. I would rather come to the end of myself and my ways so I can walk in His way with a new name, even with a limp.
“Then Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. When he saw that he had not prevailed against him, he touched the socket of his thigh; so the socket of Jacob’s thigh was dislocated while he wrestled with him….Now the sun rose upon him just as he crossed over Penuel, and he was limping on his thigh. Genesis 32:24-25, 31 (NASB)
