Genesis 32:24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 1. The day and the night mutually act and react. A day of meeting with angels may well be followed by a night of wrestling with God. As you go on your way, through the toil and bustle of this life, remember the thousand eyes which watch you from heaven, and let speech and act testify that your heart is true to the sanctities and solemnities of being. So live and so move as those who know that they have come to an innumerable company of angels, and to God the Judge of all. Thus, when night comes, the veil which shuts out earth will be a glory to open heaven. 2. Lastly, earnestness is the condition of success. (Dean Vaughan.)
