A mountain to climb, a path to take, a journey to make. The future always holds a pro... Read More

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” - John 16:33 Psalm 37:5 tells us to commit our ways to God. Trust Him, and He will act. As important as trust is, it is made real during times of struggle and difficulty.

“Then the man said, ‘Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.’” - Genesis 32:28 Today we will wrap up the story of Jacob—a man who’s name quite literally means “trickery or deceitful.” These were labels placed on Jacob from his own family from the time he was born.

Judge Not

“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” - Psalm 51:10 Yesterday, we talked about the patriarch, Jacob, whose name means “trickster, deceiver, or one who supplants.” If you look at Genesis 25:26, it says Jacob got this name because he grasped his brother’s heel after being born. That is it! That is all he did! And just like that, his own family labeled him. An... Read More
