And the LORD said to her: “Two nations are in your womb, Two peoples shall be separated from your body; One people shall be stronger than the other, And the older shall serve the younger.” So when her days were fulfilled for her to give birth, indeed there were twins in her womb. And the first came out red. He was like a hairy garment all over; so they called his name Esau. Afterward his brother came out, and his hand took hold of Esau’s heel; so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them. So the boys grew. And Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a mild man, dwelling in tents. And Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob. Now Jacob cooked a stew; and Esau came in from the field, and he was weary. And Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am weary.” Therefore his name was called Edom. But Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright as of this day.” And Esau said, “Look, I am about to die; so what is this birthright to me?”

How many times do we stop and take time to appreciate the world around and above us? God covered the heavens with His majesty; all of creation speaks to us about His power. But He also created us with a purpose–to have a personal relationship with Him. Through this devotional, we will take the focus off ourselves to look up in awe, surrender, and worship with thankfulness.
Throughout his life in the book of Genesis, we see Jacob fighting. Fighting for status. Fighting for blessings. Fighting in relationships. What can followers of Jesus learn today from someone whose life was a constant struggle?
How can the heroes of the Bible inspire us to greatness? Join us in this four-day Reading Plan as Kristi Krauss motivates us with Isaac's spiritual journey, Jacob's vast blessing, Joseph's enduring trust in God, and Moses' victory over sin.
