The Wisdom of Spurgeon

"....Jacob wrestled very hard with the angel, but he never won until the angel touched the hollow of his thigh, and caused the sinew to shrink. Then, when Jacob could no longer stand, as he fell, he clutched the angel with all his might as though he would pull him down also if he must go down himself, and the weight of Jacob was all the greater because he could not stand. His very weakness was an element of his strength, and that moment of his weakness was the moment of his victory." C.H. Spurgeon
