JACOB, IN CRISIS, knew that it was God’s nature to bless, and he needed that blessing. … However, God did not immediately bless him; God wanted to know his name. There needed to be an honest disclosure about who he was. For Jacob to receive the blessing that God wanted to give, he had to be willing to come clean.
There is a clear message here for those of us in crisis and in need of God’s blessing. We must tell God our names and share with God who we really are and what we have done. Usually we want our relationship with God to work the other way around. … But that is not the way God works. If we want God to bless us, we need to face up to ourselves honestly.
