In het begin – Genesis 28:16

God does not always arrive with clarity or certainty. Often, God is already here — unnoticed, unannounced, woven into the ordinary. This three-day plan draws on poems from Unfinished Faith, with each day offering a poem, a reflection, Scripture, and a question to sit with. These days are not about striving or insight. They are about attention. About staying. About learning to notice what is already present. You can return to this plan whenever you need to come back to where you are—and to God, here.

Discover how to open heavenly portals and experience God’s power and presence through this four-day devotional plan by Sergio Nazir Chavez. Drawing from Scripture and personal encounters, Chavez guides readers to live under an open heaven, engage in pure worship, and shut the doors to darkness. Each day provides practical steps to access divine encounters and deepen spiritual discernment.

When life feels heavy, gratitude can seem out of reach. That’s okay. God meets us right where we are. This 4-day devotional invites you into a different kind of Thanksgiving. It creates space for weariness, welcomes honesty, and still dares to hope. If your heart is tired this season, come. There’s room for you here. Written by spiritual director and author Kim Avery, this gentle journey offers a quiet invitation to return to God.

For millennia, God’s people have been carrying out a weekly Bible study plan. Every year, they read through the Torah from Genesis to Deuteronomy. In synagogue each week, they read and study a Bible passage—the weekly parshah. This week’s parshah is called “Vayetze,” which is Hebrew for “and he left,” and covers Genesis 28:10-32:3.
