We have to yield

“The sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.” God broke his leg, but He got him. And you’re going to find out from here on, he’s going to manifest a spiritual nature, dependence upon God. Another young man in the New Testament, a son of Jacob by the name of Saul of Tarsus, he tells us that he couldn’t win, and finally he found out by yielding and letting the Spirit of God: what the law could not do, the Spirit now is able to do in your life. And that’s exactly what Jacob did. Jacob won—he got the victory not by fighting and struggling, but by yielding, and that’s the only way you and I will get anywhere with God today.
