Barbed wire u.scd by Uncle Sam’s
fighting forces is vastly different |
from that used on American farms.
Army and Marine barbed wire is j
much heavier and the barbs, about
three inches in length, are more
vicious than ordinary barbed wire.
The Marino Corps pays fifty cents
for each twelve yards, or 36 feet of
this specially manufactured barbed
wire. The Army and Marine Corps
needs thousands upon thousands of
feet for defensive warfare. Your .
purchase of War Bonds and Stamps
will insure sufficient quantity for
their needs. Invest at least ten
percent of your wages in War
Bends every pay day.

JACOB SEEKS GOD’S HELP
LESSON TEXT—Genesis 32:2-12. 27-29.
GOLDEN TEXT—God is our refuge and
itrength, a very present help In trouble.—
Psalm 46:1.
"0 Gnd, our help in ages pa»t,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.”
—lsaac Watts.
How true it is that “God is our i
refuge and strength, a very present
help in trouble.” Jacob found it so,
even though his trouble came upon
him because of his own misdeeds.
God had prospered him at Haran, ,
but in due time he was led by cir
cumstance and by direct guidance
to return to his own land (Gen.
31:1-3). Hindrances arose, but Jacob
pressed on. As he came toward
home, however, he recalled the sin )
which had caused him to flee. He j
remembered now how he had de- |
frauded Esau and this
I. Guilt Brought Fear (vv. 2-8).
It always does. The sinful act of
20 years before now faced Jacob. He
had left it behind and had all but
forgotten it. He had hoped that the
years would cover it, but they did
not—and they never do.
“Be sure your sin will find you
out” (Num. 32:23) —perhaps not this
week or this year, or next; but un
til it is dealt with and forgiven it is
there to rise up and plague you
sooner or later.
Jacob’s fear was increased by
hearing that Esau came out to meet
him with 400 men. He tried by hi*
ewn devices to meet the situation,
but ultimately realized that his pre
dicament had reached the point
where only God could help him. j
How like us, trying everything else !
until we realize its futility, and then
turning to God. How delightfully j
simplified life becomes when we I
turn to God first. Yet we are glad
that Jacob’s
11. Fear Brought Prayer (vv. 9-
12).
It was real prayer, too, although,
as W. H. Griffith Thomas suggests,
it is strange that after his blessed j
personal experience with God he ad- |
dressed Him only as the God of his
fathers and not his own God (v. 9).
■ Then, too, his faith seemed a bit !
weak, for it was coupled with great j
fear (v. 11).
We are told that fear is not a
proper motive for turning men to
God. Perhaps it is not the highest j
motive, but both in Scripture and j
in experience we find it to be true
that fear often leads men to God in
real repentance and faith. If the |
goodness and grace of God do not
touch man’s heart, it is assuredly
far better that he should be saved
through fear than to be eternally
lost.
Jacob, however, needed a further
i experience of dependence upon God
I before he could be brought back in
peace into the land. He was led
j to send everyone away so that he
! was alone when the Lord dealt with i
I him and
111. Prayer Brought Blessing (vv,
j 27-29).
Jacob, who had by deceit taken
the promise from Esau instead of
j awaiting God's time to give it to i
1 him, was now about to attempt an
! other skillful scheme which would |
| have won over Esau and sent Jacob
j into his land glorying in his own
I ability. In spite of all God’s deal- |
ings with him, he was still Jacob <
| the supplanter. So God had to deal
with him.
We sometimes think of the grace
of God only as that which brings us 1
blessing and joy, but often God is
being most gracious and consider- I
ate of our real need by sending op- I
position and hardship.
The divine visitor let Jacob strug- j
glc all night, giving him a chance to
submit of his own will; but when it j
was evident that he would not, he ]
was shown that his own strength i
would not do, for he was made lame
(v. 25).
The very thing which made Jacob
sure of his own strength became
i his weakest point at the touch o'
i God. He was not the last one to
j learn that lesson.
The comment of F. B. Meyer on I
j this entire scene is most helpful:
“Note that Jacob did not lay hold of
this visitor, but the visitor lay hold j
of him. This is not a picture of a
man coming to God, to wrestle with
God in prayer, but a record of God ;
coming to man, to break the spirit i
of stubbornness and self-sufficiency |
1 which a particular man has for too j
long a time habitually manifested. |
All night these two wrestled, the !
one from heaven and the one of j
earth, and when, at the dawn of j
day, Jacob saw that he could not |
prevail against the man, in his ex
haustion and weariness he suddenly
felt the touch of the stranger’s hand
on his thigh. Immediately his thigh ,
was out of joint, rendering him ah- 1
solutely helpless. But now Jacob
realized that the one with whom he i
had wrestled all night was a divine i
person; and, whereas early in the
night he was held in the grip of
the other, now he refused to release j
his grasp of the visitor until he re
ceived a blessing from him.”
