“So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak.” (Genesis 32:24 NIV).
After sending his family and possessions across the stream, Jacob remains alone. This solitude sets the stage for a profound encounter with God. Jacob spends the night alone at the Jabbok River, wrestling with a divine being, often interpreted as an
angel or a manifestation of God Himself. This encounter leads to a transformation in Jacob’s identity and relationship with God.
Spending time alone with God is crucial for spiritual growth and reflection. It allows us to connect deeply with Him and prepare for His work in our lives. Anyone who will walk with God must know when and how to come out of the crowd and have
time alone with God. Such time spent alone with God helps deepen our relationship with Him. Therefore, prioritise moments of solitude and communion with God in your spiritual journey so you can experience the transformation of identity and
relationship with God.
