The player grabbed me and threw me down in a hold that I couldn’t wiggle away from. I fought back, determined not to let this player get the best of me in this match. I wasn’t going down! I screamed just for shock which seemed to work for 2 seconds which is all I needed. I wrestled away from his grip and tried to reposition my stance, ready for the next move. I had been matched against this player in the past but always gave up. This time, I was going to win this match! I was going to stay in the game until they called it and I was the winner!

Ever feel like you are stepping up for one more wrestling match? One more day of pushing through the hassles, drama or constant demands? You can push through this match!!
We may be tired or confused where our path is leading, when we’ll get to our destination (If we even know what that is) but we keep wrestling through the day.

Oh sure, we’re tired of it at times. We want to give in and give up. Forget this, I’m done with it. But for what? To be forever unfulfilled and aching with the knowledge that we purposely walked away from the path our Father put us on?

No, we don’t want to go through this! He will bring you back to the beginning of your journey to do it again until you complete it. You don’t want to go back to the beginning of a long journey do you? NO! You want to make it to the finish line in victory!
I’m encouraging you today. Keep wrestling with whatever stands to block your path today.
If its boredom, disgust or exhaustion-you can do this.

You may be facing some pretty intense situations and are completely at the end of yourself with wrestling. I understand this. Really, I do—I’ve been on the edge several times in life and still amazed that I’m still here. But you are here for a reason and sometimes these horrible wrestling matches are the ‘boot camp’ we have to endure to bring us to the other side.

Many times, as much as we don’t like it, the wrestling with situations and us enduring it are exactly what is used to teach us a key element. Sometimes its to bring us into obedience, into trust, into finally FINALLY giving up ourselves and letting God be God.

Yes, we even have a wrestling match in the bible to encourage us on to victory!
If you aren’t familiar the story, read Genesis Chapter 32. Jacob wrestles with a being of God (in human form). The wrestling match endures an entire night before ending with Jacob demanding a blessing for his endurance. His hip was even dislocated in the struggle! Eventually he did receive a blessing and was even given a new identity. (Genesis 32: 24-32)

This story illustrates several key points for us all but one commentary I read put it into words I liked:
How long does God have to wrestle with you before you yield every area of your life to Him?
What does God have to dislocate in your life before you come to the end of yourself?
Do you need God to rename you to receive your blessing?

So keep going fellow traveler! The wrestling match isn’t usually pleasant or fun or something we want to go through but the end result will take us closer and to places we would never journey otherwise. We are stronger than we know and able to make it through as long as we focus on Him. He is with you in your journey—keep going!!

Deuteronomy 20:4
For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.”

Hebrews 10:36
You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.
