The Jabbok Experience
It is not a simple process because before one can cross, unknown dangers may have to be faced and terrifying battles fought. This is what Jacob discovered. To cross over into Canaan was not just a matter of crossing a stream, because in the darkness a strange and mysterious presence arises. Ancient tales had it that rivers had spirits which had to be defeated before the river could be crossed.

Spiritual Friendships
As we walk along our paths in life, we will encounter several forms of friendships. There will be friends of convenience, friends by association, and friends of the heart. Friends out of convenience are friendships that you might have simply because you both are accessible to one another. These friendships are common in a work or school environment as people are united by place alone. You might even term these friendships as ‘associates’ instead of friends, because you associate with one another because you feel that you have to.

Loving Your Neighbors
Loving Your Neighbors
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
1 CORINTHIANS 13:1–2

Let Your Will, Not Mine, Be Done
Can I be honest with you? There are days when I just don’t feel like getting up in the morning. I’m noticing this a lot lately because the weather is changing and it’s pretty cold early in the morning when I awake to start my day. There are days when I move that blanket off of me and quickly snatch it back because it’s too cold to get up.
