If you know anything about the life of Jacob, you know he was a great one for bargaining with God. The only problem was, he (like we) usually came up short keeping his end of the bargain. The truth of the matter is, the sooner we realize that none of us have any bargaining chips with God, the happier and more content we will be.
I had the distinct privilege of spending a few years in N. Ireland. These dear people are known for their bartering ability. After some time of haggling, each barterer walks away feeling he or she got the better part of the deal.
The child of God who has learned not to try to barter with God will find he has gotten in on the best bargain of a lifetime.
