What if God is not only preparing the thing you have been praying for, but also preparing you to carry it? Jacob received a promise long before his character was fully formed, and God used the journey ahead to continue shaping him. The seasons between promise and fulfillment can become places of preparation when we allow God to work in us. If you are waiting for God to open a door, answer a prayer...

Could God be present in a place you have been treating as ordinary? Jacob was not looking for a spiritual encounter when God met him at Bethel.

When you fall short, is your first instinct to run toward God—or to try harder until you feel worthy of coming back?

If the waiting has started changing the way you see God, yourself, or others, then this devotional will encourage you to ...

Have you ever made a decision in a hard moment that looked very different once the moment passed? Esau allowed an immediate need to become more valuable than something meant to last.
