God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Someone has said, “None are so unholy as those whose hands are cauterized with holy things;” sacred things may become profane by becoming matters of the job... I’ve always been glad myself that Theology is not the thing I earn my living by.
Jacob is about to enter the Promised Land. He will be one of the venerated Patriarchs of the faith. But before Jacob can become Israel, the man must be broken. Jacob needs to learn that his life is to be one of continual striving with God, but doing it with full dependence on God. He will learn that with God there is a continual heat from the refiner’s fire, but through the adversity there is an unspeakable joy in the journey. And though God probably won’t be wrestling with any of us physically like He did with Jacob, there is a continual tension of finding our greatest peace when we are most intimate in close communion with God. At times we struggle, but in the pain we learn to submit to His will, allow Him to expose our defects, yield to the wounds He creates and then trust Him that the pain is for our greatest good as the “old man” is further put to death. If we act in the flesh and run away or defend ourselves or blame others or whine and complain, we’ll never experience this. As creatures so prone to follow our selfish instincts, there is a serenity that comes when God wrestles us to the ground, breaks us further of our pride and reminds us that our sufficiency is only in Him.

individual serving plates. Mix cubed cooked chicken with chilled dressing;
divide evenly on the lettuce. Cut cherry tomatoes in half and place around
edges of salad. Serve with crisp croutons sprinkled on salad if desired.
To prepare ahead of time, refrigerate the chicken, lettuce, tomatoes and
dressing in separate covered containers and assemble just before serving.
