In Gen. 32–34, Jacob prepares to face his brother, Esau and wrestles with God. He emerges a changed man and is renamed Israel. Reconciliation follows, Esau forgives his brother and the long standing tension between them dissolves. Jacob settles down with his household and his sons carry out a brutal judgement in their sister’s defense.

Day 11. Genesis 32-43

In a world where everything competes for our attention, I’m committing to reading the entire Bible in 2026, and I’ll be doing it publicly.

Why publicly? I asked myself the same question until I read Nehemiah. Israel’s spiritual and mental turnaround didn’t happen because they ‘got it together’, it happened when they returned to the Scriptures and made public reading a practice again! 

That’s exactly why I’m doing this —
for accountability, and to encourage anyone who listens.

If the Word of God is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, then we have a responsibility to keep it burning.
