Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year One

DAY 13 OF 365

He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it (Matthew 10:39).

Have you lost your life to find life in Jesus?

God pursues Jacob, whose name means supplanter. He trips up his brother, snatching the birthright (Genesis 25) and the blessing (Genesis 27), and now fears for his life. Moses records, “Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day” (Genesis 32:24). (Perhaps this is the only prayer meeting leaving the petitioner injured!) Hosea informs us that Jacob wrestles with the Angel of the Lord (Hosea 12:2-5), who is the pre-incarnate Jesus. Jacob finds his life by yielding to the Lord and subsequently is called a man of faith. The writer of Hebrews shares, “By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff” (Hebrews 11:21).

Employment Point: Submit to God’s will to find your life.
