Genesis: God’s Story in You – Taking Charge
In Genesis 34, we considered Jacob’s passive leadership that led to his sons committing a massacre at Shechem. Jacob feared that other countries in the region would retaliate, but in Genesis 35, we learn that God is fighting for Jacob and his family. A “terror from God fell upon the cities that were around them, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob” (Gen. 35:5). Once again, Jacob experienced the power and protection of God.

Genesis: God’s Story in You – Fresh Faith
When God writes our story, each day is a new chapter. Whatever happened yesterday, happened yesterday. Whether yesterday was characterized by failure or success, it is over. Every day needs to be infused with fresh faith.
Genesis: God’s Story in You – The Great Escape
God is writing his story in your life, and it is an amazing story. Now, honestly, there are people who think, and others who teach, that if God is truly writing our story, life is going to be smooth sailing, no bumps, no issues. But when we dig into Scripture, we know that is not the case. Often, God uses significant challenges to write our story. We see this illustrated again today in the life of Jacob.
Genesis: God’s Story in You – Conflict at Home
Humanity has a natural craving for love. We want to be accepted and valued. This is not abnormal or unhealthy until it produces harmful behavior. We all know that competition and jealousy can wreak havoc in families. That’s what we see in today’s passage.
We would love to pray for you. If you would like prayer, please send us a message.
Ron, I start every day listening to your daily devotion. It helps me start my day. I lost my husband in August of 2020 at the young age of 50, and your daily devotion has really helped me cope. Thank you and God Bless!
