Scripture Reading: Genesis 32:25 (KJV): "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."
Devotional: Jacob’s wrestling match with God left him with a limp but also with a blessing. Sometimes, God allows us to experience moments of brokenness to teach us the strength found in surrender. Jacob’s brokenness was physical, but it symbolized a spiritual breakthrough.
Reflection: Think about a time when a struggle or setback led to unexpected growth or blessing in your life. How did God use your experiences to develop your character or deepen your faith?
Prayer: Lord, teach me to see the hidden blessings in my brokenness. Even as I wrestle with difficult situations, help me to recognize Your hand in my life and to trust that You are shaping me for greater things. Amen.
Action: Jot down a past experience of brokenness and list at least three ways it has contributed to your personal or spiritual growth. Thank God for these lessons.
