Genesis 31:1, 16

When I think about steering through various significant choices, I often find myself looking at Jacob, the son of Isaac and grandson of Abraham. As we read through his life, we see that Jacob came to three major forks in the road. This plan will explore each of those decisive moments in his life and how they apply to us today.

We all carry names—some given to us at birth, others picked up along the way through hurt, failure, or self-doubt. But what if God has something completely new to say about who you are? In this 7-day journey, Grant Fishbook explores Jacob’s transformation from deceiver to Israel—and invites you to walk away with a brand new name.

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.
