Gen 32:26–28
And he said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” And Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” And he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” And he said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for as a prince you have power with God and with men, and have prevailed.”

At Jabbok, Jacob engaged in a heavenly overnight duel. As dawn broke, the angel urged release, but Jacob refused. He wouldn’t let go without a blessing. This moment of spiritual wrestling became a defining point—where tenacity turned a man into a nation. It was not mere resistance, but purposeful persistence anchored in divine desire. Jacob’s unrelenting grip was not defiance—it was faith refusing to quit.

Tenacity is the strength of holding on firmly, a resilient commitment that refuses to surrender. It goes beyond mere stubbornness—it’s focused endurance rooted in belief.
That’s the spirit Jacob mirrored. “When he bites your leg, he will not let go until he chooses.” Such commitment is rare, yet necessary. Progress, growth, and blessings often demand a faith that won’t let go, even when it hurts.

May we as Christians cultivate Jacob’s bulldog-like tenacity in our spiritual walk, relationships, and responsibilities. Whether wrestling with temptation, persevering through trials, or remaining faithful to commitments, tenacity fuels transformation. Set clear goals, exercise self-discipline, and draw strength from Christ—our ultimate example of unwavering resolve. Victory is often born in the struggle, not the comfort.
