Summary: <p><strong>Subtopic: "Breaking the Spirit of Normalcy"</strong></p> <p><strong>Genesis 32: 24-32</strong> </p> <p><strong>24 </strong>And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.</p> <p><strong>25 </strong>And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.</p> <p><strong>26 </strong>And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.</p> <p><strong>27 </strong>And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.</p> <p><strong>28 </strong>And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.</p> <p><strong>29 </strong>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.</p> <p><strong>30 </strong>And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.</p> <p><strong>31 </strong>And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.</p> <p><strong>32 </strong>Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.</p> <p> </p> <p><br></p>
