When Jacob became Israel

“He said to him, ‘What is your name?’ And he said ‘Jacob.’ Then he said, ‘Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed’” (Gen. 32:27-28). Jacob not only prevail in grappling with men (Gen. 29–31), but he also clung to God. Bruised by the Lord, Jacob did not let go until the Lord blessed him (32:26). The Lord does not let Jacob’s past define him. Instead, He forgives and no longer hold’s Jacob’s sin against him. When God sends trials our way, He is not working against us. He also delivers us from our struggles!
