Genesis 32:20 And say you moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
This is what Jacob had to do, but all of his efforts to appease Esau had fallen on deaf ears, and therefore, in sheer desperation, he withdraws into his closet to have a serious talk with God. God then responds in the positive, and He sends a Cherub to shake down Esau from his high horse of prejudice. There are times when you would have to leave your situation in God’s hands, for only He can deliver you from certain perilous circumstances.
And since He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, we can trust Him to do what He does best…. Genesis 32:9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the Lord which said unto me Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee: 10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff, I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
Genesis 32:11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children. 24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
Genesis 32:26 And he said, let me go, for the day is breaking. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
