DAILY DEVOTION: Wrestling with God | Jacob 13

My brother went to get the best price on the truck part and he was prepared to haggle with them for a discount, but they just didn't have it. How do you haggle with that? Has it ever happened to you?  All of your plans to attack and defend could not be employed, the game was off.

Maybe Jacob's beloved wife Rachel felt that way as Leah and even the maids were having children left, right and even a little girl, but her trips to "babyland" left her feeling frustrated. Couldn't even get one to borrow. Sundown followed her sundown. The only thing worse than the noise in the neighbouring tents, was the deafening silence in hers - a recipe for depression. But then like a brilliant St. Thomas sunrise that will chase away all the darkness of night, we are told, “God remembered Rachel…” and the rest is future.
Have you ever had to shout to God and ask, “Father God, have you forgotten me?”, only to have Him prove that your package is already in the mail? It's a wonderful feeling beyond words. Feel Rachel's and Jacob's joy and believe God because He has something in store for you. Maybe even better than your request.
