"Your name is Jacob, but you will no longer be called Jacob"
Didn't God already say this? Yes but God is reminding Jacob of it. Perhaps it is because of all that took place that Jacob/Israel didn't take on his new name? We don't know but God is reminding him. God reminds us too. We are broken and messed up people but we are to be called something else. Here is the interesting fact, what you call yourself is what you will become. God knew this and therefore, I think, He reminded Israel/Jacob what he was supposed to be calling himself. By calling himself the Prince of God, it would hope he would start acting like it.
So what is your name? If you have accepted Jesus it is "Child of God." Let's live into it.
