OVER PENUEL DAILY

And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh. (King James Version) And while he was going past Peniel, the sun came up. And he went with unequal steps because of his damaged leg.(Bible in Basic English Version) And the sun rose upon him, when he passed the Face of God; and he halted upon his thigh. (Brentons English Septugiant Version) Introduction / Body: Jacob was on a journey as commanded by God (Gn 31:3) to return to his fathers land, when he had the encounter in Penuel. We are in a journey in life. As believers we are in our journey back to our home (We, however, are citizens of heaven, and we eagerly wait for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to come from heaven Phil 3:20 GNB) or in journey to fulfill destiny, as Jacob was in his journey back to the land of canaan. God by who he is, standing by his word sent angels to meet with Jacob (Gen 32:1-2) on his way to canaan, to go along with him and his family and properties. He (God) had already spoken that angels are ministering to us Ps 91:11; Heb 1:14 Jacob like most of us believers lost the consciousness of the presence of Gods host with us. God already told him that he was going to be with him wherever he goes (Gen 28:15, Heb 13:5) The journey of life is full of challenges (Ps 34:19 - Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.), Jacob already knew the challenge that was before him (Esau).
