Genesis tells the story of a man named Jacob. Jacob's name means "deceiver" or "usurper" and he lived up to it. Most notably, he stole his brother Esau's blessing from their father Isaac through clever deception.

He believed Esau was still set on killing him, which was reinforced by the 400 men Esau was leading to meet Jacob's caravan. With nowhere to turn and no guarantee his cleverness would get him out of this one, he called out to the God of his fathers.

God has a far greater plan for Joseph. One that would change the world forever!

Tabitha, who we find at the end of Acts 9, is a woman of God who took her gift as a seamstress and used it to impact her community for Christ.
