In the article called The Love Trap by Lazer Gurkow we learn: that just like Jacob, who wrestled the angel and was injured, but "whose thigh was healed as the sun rose, so too will our ability to stand firm return as soon as the sun rises and shines." Like the prophet Isaiah promised, "the sun will shine" And when the divine is manifested again in our lives, "those warm divine rays will heal our "thigh" and strengthen our posture. We will once again stand tall, strong and proud..." Jacob's struggle can be likened to our present day struggles..."even in the dark of night, we must know that the sun will rise and that our spiritual stature will recover." We are also reminded that we must take action because knowledge is not enough. By resisting assimilation into a fallen culture and falling into temptation and sin we can by recommitting to our beliefs "actually rekindle the soul's flame and trigger our sunrise."
