This text shatters the misconception of God as a tame father. Indeed as Lewis has penned: “Aslan is no tame lion.” God wrestles with us so as to wake us up from our spiritual slumber. If the spiritual gifts were easy to exercise, wrestling would not be an option. But our lives are filled with difficulties and so God calls us to be His wrestlers. We are wrestlers for our own souls, and our families and wrestlers for the kingdom of God.
