Genesis 35:1-2, 4

Do you feel like a cloud of worry follows wherever you go? The key to overcoming your anxiety is found in the person of Jesus. He calls us to trust rather than despair - to "not be anxious" and to cast all our cares on Him. This plan is based on the new book Moving Beyond Anxiety by David Chadwick.

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.

Human relationships are almost always messy because people are involved, but God isn’t people. God is God. He is completely, TOTALLY different. If our relationship to/with Him is ever messy, it's only because we made it that way. We invite you to put aside any assumptions you've made about God and let Him speak for Himself. We think you’ll find that He is much easier to trust than people.

In part four of our Genesis plan, we'll explore the story of Jacob's children, particularly Joseph in Egypt. Read about Joseph's dreams, the treachery of Jacob's sons against their brother, and his struggles in Egypt before ascending to power.
