Changed By God To Make A Difference For God

In each of our lessons this morning, we see someone wrestling with God. Jacob is wrestling with God over God’s promises to his ancestors and him. The psalmist is wrestling with God over some apparent injustice that afflicts him. Paul is wrestling with God over the fate of his people, the Jews. Jesus is wrestling with the loss of his cousin and co-worker, John the Baptist. And of course, many of us are wrestling with serious problems and issues in our lives. What are we to make of all this wrestling? What can we learn from today's lessons? Check out what Fr. Maney has to say and see what you think. Lectionary texts for today are Genesis 32.22-31; Psalm 17.1-6, 16; Romans 9.1-5; Matthew 14.13-21.
