A RESERVED RELATIONSHIP

Friendship with the Lord is reserved for those who fear him. With them he shares the secrets of his covenant. Psalm 25:14 NLT1996

This week I completed the Rescue and Stress Diving Certification. Yahoo! There were some tense moments in both study and in the water but it was a real privilege to be able to have the time and opportunity. The kicker is I love the winter water . . . especially here in Maui’s western shore! Its so awesome it even makes drowning fun! (Ok just kidding.)

Gen 31-32

• Jacob’s life has the blessing of God. From before his birth God had said, Jacob’s future was prosperous and decided. Yet Jacob’s life is controlled by fear. He is always trying to hang onto what he thinks should be his. Jacob manipulates people, opinion and circumstance, continually trying to get better position in life. He is afraid he will miss out, not have enough or keep enough, that someone else will take it.
