"At times God puts us through the discipline of darkness to teach us to heed Him. Song birds are taught to sing in the dark, and we are put into the shadow of God’s hand until we learn to hear Him...” Oswald Chambers

When God’s presence and power touch someone’s life, they are never the same! As believers, being transformed into the image of Jesus is a process that occurs over time as we cooperate with the Holy Spirit. Throughout history, countless people have experienced transformation. In this fascinating plan, Denise Renner examines the lives of Hagar, Elijah, Jacob, Gideon, and Nebuchadnezzar — revealing how God transformed them through encounters with Him.

This six-day devotional walks through Genesis 25-35 and follows Jacob as God pursues, protects, and transforms him. These chapters show that God partners with broken people, blesses those who do not deserve it, and keeps His promises even when we fail. Through Jacob’s story, you will see that God’s grace is never earned, always patient, and still at work in your life today.
