As Jacob reviewed his life he was driven almost to despair but he held fast the angel such will be the experience of God's people in their final struggle.
As of old he entreats the erring ones who profess his name to repent and turn from their evil ways. Now, as then, by the mouth of his chosen servants he predicts the dangers before them.
When the heart yields to the influence of the spirit of God the conscience will be quickened and The sinner will discern something of the depth and sacredness of God's holy law, the foundation of his government in heaven and on earth.
Only through realizing our own weakness, and looking steadfastly into Jesus, can we walk securely. If you take even one step toward him and repentance, he will hasten to unfold you in his arms of infinite love.
