You're Blessed!

Genesis 32:29 "And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me ,I pray thee thy name.And he said,Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name?And he blessed him there".

The main thing is to get a blessing.The angel did not gratify Jacob's curiosity when he asked his name; but he did blessed him.He blessed him, he was saved from the harm of Esau's attack.He was forgiven a great wrong,he was blessed with a new name  and a fresh anointing,the angel redeemed him from evil."He Blessed him There".

"He blessed him there". A place of great trial,a place of humble confession.A place of pleading,as he "wrestled with a man until the breaking of day".A place of communion,as he said "I have seen God face to face"(vs.30). He blessed him there.No matter were we find ourselves in life,if we are in the will of God, remember he blessed us there.Before the foundation of the world God blessed us in Jesus Christ.At the cross,the tomb and the throne, he blessed us there.At conversion he blessed us there, for "blessed is the man whose sins are forgiven".In times of stripping,humbling,chastening,and pleading, He blessed us there;"For blessed is the man that endureth temptations".In our obedience, he blessed us there;"For blessed is the man whose delight is in the law of the Lord".Just know where ever you are "he blessed you there".

He blesses you there,the place in your life when you need a blessing, if you are willing to give up sin.Willing to have Jesus for your all in all.Willing to submit to the Fathers will with all your heart,  soul and  mind.Willing to serve God his way?Don't leave without a saving blessing,believe for it, wrestle for it, hold on to the Lord until he gives it to you.Only the Lord can give it to you,look to him alone for the blessing.This blessing which Jacob was blessed with was a devine blessing.He was already blessed with wealth,wives ad children but these were worldly blessings,but he wrestled with God for a heavenly blessing, the blessing of peace with God,thus giving him peace with his brother.He knew that if he had the power to hold on to God, he would have the power to over come his brother,And "He blessed him there"!
