Genesis 31:52

God's Word is one glorious, world-changing story. Archaeologist and theologian Amanda Hope Haley scrapes back 2,000 years of misguided cultural interpretations to reveal Scripture in its historical, archaeological, and literary contexts. Far from a dry academic exercise, this process reveals how our misunderstandings developed and revitalizes the Bible stories you thought you knew, all with the greater purpose of encouraging a daily, intentional, and rigorous study of God’s Word.

This devotional is about God changing Jacob to Israel. This is a process and the the way God works in our lives. It is good to understand the process and be alive to God's ways in our own lives, and allow Him to transform us to what He wants us to be.
