Israel- Let God Prevail

-

 


Jacob wrestles with the man.

He See god face to face

Names and the significance 

Names are part of the covenant

Jacob asks for a blessing….what is the word used here

Jacob is asked his name.

He is given a new name…Israel….let god prevail.   Jacob let god prevail in his wrestle…,is this an idiom.

And a promise.

He then asks the name of the man. The man does not tell him…


The first part of the covenant, but the second part is not there yet…..it is for this dispensation.


Choose one thing to do each day to show you follow God.

One thing at a time

One by one

All problems have meaning and are sent to teach a lesson. At the wedding I had two problems focus and light. I tried things to compensate. I got some good photos but had a lot of not so good photos. So focus and light are symbols that I can apply to my life. Do I struggle with focus. Do I need to pay more attention to this. Light is the other symbol. The right illumination is vital to seeing the world in its best light. Light is most difficult in low light situations where the Sun is not able to penetrate. In these instances I need to add light from an artificial light source to illuminate the subject or I can open an aperture wider, but depth of field is reduced. My lense also has limitations in this situation. I can also increase exposure time but this adds blur. Iso can also be increased, but this also has limitations. It effects color and noise and focus. Life situations can be compared to this. The subject, current theme needs to be illuminated to give the

Thoughts on Marriage

Joanne got married on Friday so i have given a lot of thought to marriage over the past few week in the run up to the wedding. The wedding was very beautiful.It is wonderful to see two people declare their love and commitment to each other in the eyes of the world, their family and Friends. I know that sometimes things don't work out, but at least for one day everyone is happy and striving to an Ideal. Different marriages last for different duration, but most have a season of happiness. Some manage to hold on to that happiness for a little long then others. The aim of this game is to hang on to happiness for as long as possible.

That possibility of success and hope for the future is what drives us to marry and seek the happiness it can bring. Marriage can also bring heartache and pain, but with hope for th

28 Jun 2021 I am following some bread crumbs that are placed before me and connecting the dots. What type of picture will these all form one I am done. I watched a youtube video yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pQvM9ZY41k In this video the presenter says that the beast with the labs horns represents the USA. I found the following news article from 2016 confirming that the Bison is now a symbol of the USA and also the bald eagle. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/kidspost/bison-joins-bald-eagle-as-symbol-of-united-states/2016/05/10/53594ed8-16c9-11e6-aa55-670cabef46e0_story.html The bison becomes a symbol of the USA in 2016. This is the part from Revelations that the video referred to. Revelation 13 11  And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12  And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first
