“And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.”
So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. The wrestling through the entire night is the most mysterious and most significant event in Jacob's spiritual life. Hosea 12:3-4 identifies the opponent as the angel who strove with God. The application: the encounter that changes you most profoundly is often the one in which you struggle longest and hold on most tenaciously.
