Beauty in Brokenness

“During the night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two servant wives, and his eleven sons and crossed

the Jabbok River with them. After taking them to the other side, he sent over all his possessions. This left Jacob

all alone in the camp, and a man came and wrestled with him until the dawn began to break.”

Genesis 32:22-24 NLT

1. A PLACE OF FULL SURRENDER!

“When the man saw that he would not win the match, he touched Jacob’s hip and wrenched it out of its socket.

Then the man said, ‘Let me go, for the dawn is breaking!’ But Jacob said, ‘I will not let you go unless you bless

me.”

Genesis 32:25-26 NLT

2. A PLACE OF COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY!

“What is your name?’ the man asked. He replied, ‘Jacob.’”

Genesis 32:27 NLT

“Your name will no longer be Jacob,’ the man told him. ‘From now on you will be called Israel, because you

have fought with God and with men and have won.”

Genesis 32:28 NLT

3. A PLACE OF AWESOME WONDER!

“Please tell me your name, ’Jacob said. ‘Why do you want to know my name?’ the man replied. Then he blessed

Jacob there.’

Genesis 32:29 NLT
