"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God" (Matthew 5:3, NLT). If peace is something that needs to be made or created, how do we do it? In this Plan, we will take a systematic approach to learn how to bring peace to the world around us.

Esau was not merely Jacob’s brother; he became a nation, a culture, and a warning. Though born with privilege, position, and access to covenant blessing, Esau despised spiritual inheritance for temporary appetite. His life exposes the danger of living by the flesh, choosing wrongly, moving at the pace of the world, and desiring blessing without surrender. This 7-day plan invites believers to examine the Esau mindset, resist compromise, value their spiritual birthright, and walk patiently in God’s covenant purposes.

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.
