Genesis 32:31. And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
The memorial of his weakness was to be with him as long as he lived. People would ask, "How came the halting gait of that princely man? "And the answer would be, "It was by his weakness that he won his princedom, he became Israel, a prince of God, when his thigh was put out of joint." How pleased would you and I be to go halting all our days with such weakness as Jacob had, if we might also have the blessing that he thus won!
