God Gives Jacob a New Name.- (en. xxxii. 9-12, 22-30. Oommentaxy.-I. Jacobei fear of Esau ve. 1-8). After Laban left him a new peril confronted Jacob, Esau lived in .Edom, near the route which it was neces- ery for him to take, and Jacob sent messengers on ahead to announce his 'coming to his brother. The messengers latatin' returned, bringing the alarming teens that Esau was coming to meet him 'With four hundred meg. Jacob saw that he was in danger and at once took such measures as he could do for their safety. ,He divided his company into two bands, loping that one at least might be spar- ed. Then Jacob called on the Lord for .deliverance. 11. Jaeob's player (vs. 9-12). 9. Jacob isaid-In this great emergency Jacob 'prays. He pleads the fact that he has a right to divine protection because he Is acting in obedience to the divine eom- maxtd. In this prayer, note the following ipoints: "1. He appeals to the God of his .fathers. 2. He makes use of the coven- ant name, Jehovah. 3. He pleads the promises. 4. He humbly acknowledges :the mercies of God. 5. God's truth or fidelity is honored as against the un- truthfulness of Jacob. 6. He acknowl- edges his great temporal prosperity as a blessing from God. 7. He prays for deliverance from Esau. 8. He confesses his fear. 9. He pleads for the mother and children. 10. In conclusion he again pleads the promises."-Whed. Com. 10. Not worthy -The Hebrew expres- sion is, "little among all the mercies"; that is, too little to have received; less than all. -Alford. With my staff -When he passed over this Jordan he had noth- ing but his staff, but now he has wives and children, and flocks and herds. 11. Hand of my brother -Jacob knew that his brother was coming toward. him with an army, and he feared the worst. The mother with the children -"He must have had an awful opinion of his brother when he used this expression, which im- plies the utmost cruelty, proceeding in the work of slaughter to total extermin- ation." 12. Thou saidst-God's promises are the sure ground of all our hopes, and 4t4 remind God of His promises is the one privilege of prayer." III. Jacob prepares to meet Esau (vs. 13-21). Jacob did not regard praying es a substitute for the use of means. It was rather a guide, an inspiration from God in their use. He now sends a prince- ly present to his brother, hoping in. this way to pacify him and turn away his anger. We can learn something of Jac- ob's great prosperity from the fact that this present consisted of 580 animals. They were divided into droves, following one another at intervals. The messen- gers were also instructed to deliver con- ciliatory messages. In this way Jacob 'hoped to make a favorable impression on Esa.u. "Peace and love, thOugh pur- chased dear, will prove a good bargain to the purchaser." -Henry. IV. Jacob wrestling with God. (vs. 22- 30). 22. Rose up that night -Jacob took his family across in the night when there would be no opportunity for the enemy to see or to hinder. Ford Jabbok-The Jabbok was a stream flowing into the Jordan about two-thirds of the distance from the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea. 24. Was left alone -To be left alone with God. is the only true way of ar- riving at a just knowledge of ourselves and our ways. -C. H. M. There wrestl- ed -From Hos. 12, 4, we learn that the wrestling of Jacob was not merely a phy- nice' exercise, but also a spiritual one. A man -This was doubtless the Lord Jesus Christ. In Hos. 12, 4, the man who wrestled with him is called the an- gel, and the Lord of hosts; and in verse 30 of this clasp -ter Jacob calls him God. Jacob "wrestled"; Jesus agonized in prayer ,and we are told to "strive" in prayer, even to an agony. 25. He prevailed not -It would have been easy enough for the angel to pre- vail physically; but the Lord was en- deavoring to lead Jacob to a complete abandonment of himself. 11 etouched.. his thigh -The thigh is the pillar of a man's strength; Jacob was thus shown his utter helplessness anddependence on God. "God can bring down to the dust the ,stoutest character. He knows how to touch the spring of nature's strength, and write the .sentence of death thor- oughly upon it. We mast be 'weak' ere we can be 'strong.' "-C. H. M. "God smote the thigh of Jacob, 1. That he might know he had not prevailed by his own strength. 2. That he might see that God was displeased with his unbe- lief." "The reason of this action of the angel was very probably lest Jacob should be puffed up by the 'abundance of the revelations.' He might think that of his own strength, and: not by grace, he had, prevailed with Gods as St. Peel had the thyrn in the flesh sent to him lest he e.hould be exalted above meas- ure.' (2 Cod. 12, 7)." -peak. Com. 20. I will not, etc. -To say this from the heart is the secret of all true strength. Here was real decision on the part of Jacob. "The highest heroism of faith shin.'es forth in these words." Except troubles me -The blessing for God on the heart is of greater value than the beat' this world can give. Jacob had been blessed greatly in a temporal ,seese, Be had become rich hi flocks and heeds, whieh .00nstitutedi the wealth of those regions of that time. He was !Messed with numerates family, which was by a descendent of Abraham canside mad the greatest of temporal blessings. re'was not, for earthly blessings that wrestled that night, hut his ?seal paved for deep communion with God. prayer was a heart -cry for the sat- - yin of a heart -need. Human sympas weelth, family could not now meet ing with Esau was oversbadlowed by the eonsciousness of his seul's deep need. The fear of the eneounter had perhaps driven him to preyer, but his heart's need had now become the all -abiding ehoughe 27. Wrat is thy name-Goct direeted atention to his name es representing his chase -der. Ho said, Jacob -That is "sup- plenter." Thu did Jaoob die true state of his heart in confessing his name. 28. Israel -A prime of God, or one pow- erful with God. "God had, taught him that his greatest enemy was not Esau but himself," Power with God -The oats •sure way of having power with men is to have power with Goa firet. Derneeenese, pereeveramice, submiesion, faith -these will move both God and man. Haat prevailed -All of God's peo- ple are wrestlers. Great thingsaxe pronaised to those who give themselves fully to God, not the least of wheel is that they shall prevail with God. 29. Teal me,. .thy name -Reveal thy- self to me more fully. He blesse& him teere-The angel did not gratify Jacob's curiosity when he asked Ms name, but he did not bless him. 1. Consieer the place. It was a place (1) of great trial (vs. 8, 7); (2) of humble confession. (v. 10); (3) a pleading (vs. 11, 12); (4) of communion (v. 30); (5) of conscious weakness (v. 31.) 2. Consider the bless- ing. . He was (1) saved from a great peril (v. 11); (2) he ava.s alble to feel that a great breach was healed (radii. 4); (3) he bas won a now name and rank (v. 28), wed was made a prince on the spot; (4) he was now under a fresh anointing, end was a superior man than ever aften-Spurgeon. 30. Penisel-Or Penuel. (v. 31), meaning "the face of God." My life is preerved -These words have a deep spiritual meaning. The only way in which the life can be preserved is to meet the angel-ebrist; he is the life, and he only is able to give and preserve life. Satan frequently suggests to the one -who is earnestly desirous of coming into deep and perfect communication with God, that, if he should attain to that experi- ence, he would die at once or very soon thereafter; 'but there is no danger in that direction, for he who is filled with divine love is truly prepared, to live here and to live forever. 1. Jacob's plan. "The angels of God met him. And when Jacob saw them he 'said, This is God's boat: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim" (vs. 2, margin). Jacob counted his own host with the Lord's. He thought to help God in the extremity, and. sent mes- sengers to Esau, but "was greatly afraid and distressed" (v. 7). Afterward he divided. bis company into two hosts, thus unconsciously and practically leaving God's host out. Thus he planned (vs. 1-8). Then he prayed (vs. 9-12). Then he planned again (vs. 10-23). Is much of our praying like Jacob's? Ile prayed, "Deliver me....from the hand. of my brother" (v. 11). Then he sent a prince- ly gift ,of 550 cattle and. a servile mes- sage to Esau, and said, "I will appease him with the present....peralveleseshie will accept of me" (v. 20). He relied' upon his own management; he did: not utterly trust God and quietly wait for him to deliver him with or without us- , .because it is said to be just as effective. Mg him as he chose. Our planning and and at the same time perfectly harm - God's planning for us are two different less. things. One is the energy of the flesh; This is the view of a French doctor the other is the power of the Spirit. One who has proved that by directing a is our work; the other is God -working ray of blue .electrie light on the eyes, us to will and to do of his good pleas - carefully ex.cluding all other rays, pa- in ure (Phil. 2, 13). One brings fear and tients can be thrown pleasantly and distress; the other brings peace. One harmlessly into a state of insensibility. One is sure to be defeated; the other is At present the sleep produced by the sure to bring victory. All JlIcob's plan- ning went for naught. 11. Jacob's prayer. 1. Reverent, "Ja- cob said, 0 God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaec" (v. 9). The Lord revealed himself to Moses as "the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob" (Exod. 3, 15). 2. Confident. "0 God ....the Lord which saidst unto me. Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred. and I will deal well with thee" (v. 9). "Thou saidst I will surely do thee good., and make thy seed. as the sand of the sea, which can- not be numbered for multitUde" (v. 12). We cannot plead God's promises unless we know them. We should consider the study of the promises an essential part of our education. General Gordon car- ried wit hhirn "Clark's Precious Prom- ises." Ile used to consult that collection and seek out she text which best Suited his need, and, in solitude ?before God plead the inspired. word, look for an ans- wer, and act upon it. lie went down through the Soudan alone, daring all manner of dangers because he believed in God. His heroism had for its founda- tion a strong faith in the promises. 3. A confession. "I am not worthy" (v. 10). A troubled conscience vividly recalled the past. • lie remembered how he had supplanted Esau, and deceived his father (Gen. xxvii. 35, 36), and tricked Laban (Gen. xxx. 31-43; xxxi. 1). lie acknowledged that he did not deserve the favor of God. 4, Humble. "1 am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which Thou hast showed unto Thy servant" (v. 10). .As Jacob contemplates God's abundant, unceasing, covenant mercies, the self in him dwindles away. He deserved nothing. All that he had vvas the direct gift of God. 5. Definite. "Deliver me, I pray Thee, from the hand of my brother Ewe" (v. 11). Prevailing prayer springs from a consciousness of need, definitely stated. "When I was in the army," says an old Roman general, "we never could tolerate at headquarters the men who came around without knowing exactly what they wanted. We used to send them off on the double quick, telling them not to show themselves again till they could ten just what they wanted. If a ma.n came with a petition and told his busi- ness in a clear, straightforward way, it was generally granted at once. That is the way we should go to the Lord; know just what we want and tell it as clearly and straight as we cam" • Maeda loisenng. soul tried sett, aster III. Jacob's power.

"And, there wreatled a man with him until the breaking of the day." Jacob cud not wrestle with, the angel to secure a eeessing; the angel wrestled with the double-dealing Jacob to break up his self-sufficiency and pre- pare him to receive a blessing. 2.

Then, in the weakness of the flesh but in the strength of the Spirit, "he had power over the angel and prevailed" (Hoe 4). 3. Confession. "He said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob" (v. 28). 'When God asks, "What is thy name?" be honest and tell Him, acknowl- ,edge the sin whieh hinders the blesging. Like Jacob, say,"My name is Money." "My name is Pleasure."
