Day 92 – Hiking With a Limp (2)

Published: March 18, 2016, 1 p.m.

Yesterday we looked at the story of Jacob when he wrestled with God and his name was changed to Israel. Although God’s original call to start a new nation was to Jacob’s grandfather Abraham, with Jacob, who is now Israel, the new nation started to take shape. If you missed the story of Jacob’s wrestling match, please listen to Day 91 on iTunes or Wisdom-Trek.com to get caught up. This wrestling match left Jacob with a limp that he would be inflicted with the remainder of his life as a reminder of being set apart to prepare for and build this new nation.

As we head out to explore new trails today, we realize that it will be very difficult to take this strenuous hike with a permanent limp or other disability, so we will have to be prepared for the journey. Preparation can come in many forms, but for our Trek today, let us take our rehabilitation instructions from Hebrews 12:1-3 & 12-13.
