Gênesis 34:8

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.

Sexual sin rarely remains private or harmless. This eight-day plan examines the biblical connection between sexual perversion, abuse of power, violence, family destruction, corrupted worship and divine judgement. Through accounts involving fallen angels, Sodom, Tamar, Dinah, Bathsheba, Absalom and the church in Thyatira, readers will see how rejecting God’s boundaries can produce exploitation and wider social harm. The plan calls believers and churches to uphold biblical holiness, protect the vulnerable, confront abuse, pursue justice, practise repentance and honour God’s design for sexuality, authority and covenant faithfulness.

Some places in Scripture were more than locations; they became altars, classrooms, crossroads, or snares. Bethel, Horeb, Egypt, Sodom, Moab, David’s palace, and Peter’s fire all reveal how environments can shape encounters, decisions, temptations, and destinies. This twelve-day plan is a call to spiritual alertness, not fear. Believers are not called to hide from the world, but to walk with discernment. Each day invites us to ask: Has God sent me here? Am I equipped to stand here? What is this place forming in me?
