Jacob was born to wrestle. He was born to parents who had wrestled with barrenness. He entered the world wrestling for position as he grasped his twin brother's heel. From there, he wrestled with his call and identity, continuing to grasp for what he felt was his. He would try to fulfill God's call and His promises in his own strength.
