Jacob’s Struggle With Preservation

Let us muse for the next several days from Genesis chapters 32,34,38, and the subject of Jacob’s struggle with preservation.  The greatest area of struggle for him as well as us is self-preservation. We concern ourselves with taking care of number one. There is little among us of reckless abandonment of self. There are few who proclaim I count not my life dear unto me. In Jacob’s life one of his greatest struggle was with his self. Let us be reminded the one we see first thing in the mirror of a morning is our worst enemy.
