Wig’s Word of God Today 7-5-2011
Proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom. Matthew 9:35c
Genesis 32:23-33, Psalm 17 & Matthew 9: 32-38
When I awoke this morning, I was sitting at my desk reading Scripture when it dawned on me that I was supposed to be in Mass at 6:30 in less than 40 minutes and I had almost 25 minutes of travel time. I was off a day because of the July 4th holiday and I rushed to get dressed and make my scheduled Lector engagement. Such is everything in life it seems sometimes as the Pastor reminded us today in his preaching that we are always wrestling with commitments, family and God in one thing or another just as Jacob wrestled with God today in Genesis 32. God renames Jacob “Israel” which means God’s wrestler and offers Jacob his blessing after a night of tussling with God.
Yes, I agree, many of us wrestle with God in many things each and everyday but He will never abandon you even in the times you spitefully callout His Name in vain to lash out at the circumstances of life. We learn sooner or later that God is in control of everything, every little detail of our life and when we accept His Presence we seek His guidance for everything we do. If we cannot live in His Will for every instance we are falling into a world of self guided by inner desires of selfishness. It’s only when we learn to allow our lives to be guided by His Word, by His Knowledge and by His Truth do we live in a harmonious joy gaining Eternal Life from His Son’s Redemption. Are you wrestling with God or is God wrestling with you to love your love of His Son Jesus?
So we ask in prayer: Dear Gracious LORD, we pray today for strength to wrestle life’s worry away by Your Word and Your Son’s Redemption. We pray for Rochelle who is wrestling with life’s issues. We pray for Augie Silva’s continued healing and we ask LORD to guide his for Your Purpose. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
God Bless His Truth for America,

Romans 8:28
“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed“
When We?- Are We?- Do We?
When we fight with God
Are we right with God?
When we fight with God
Are we in spite with God?
When we embrace God’s Truth
Do we face life to choose?
When we embrace God’s Truth
Do we race God to prove?
When we surrender to God
Do we see His Son’s Blood?
When we surrender to God
Do we forget life’s crud?
