Jacob faces the struggle of his life as he is terrified about the possibility of being him and his entire household being murdered by Esau, as a result of something he did 20 years ago. His past is catching up with him; he now needs to decide whether to believe the future God said He would have or the future his eyes are telling him will have. He wrestles God and wins through surrender. He is blessed by seeing the face of God so he can face his past and embrace his future.
