He touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew that shrank
Gen. 32:32
Whatever it is that enables a soul, whom God designs to bless, to stand out against Him, God will touch. It may be the pride of wealth, influence, or affection, but it will not be spared—God will handle it. It may be something as natural as a sinew, but God will touch it if it robs a man of spiritual blessing. It may be as small a thing as a sinew, but its influence in making a man strong in his resistance of acceptance will be enough to condemn it—and God will touch it. And beneath that touch, it will shrink and shrivel, and you will limp to the end of life.
Remember that the sinew never shrinks save beneath the touch of the angel hand—the touch of tender love.
