Abandoned or reserved?. How am I trying to make life work, in what ways am I ducking and diving like Jacob? What bargains am I making with God, and what conditions am I setting on my walk with Him?.

How am I trying to make life work, in what ways am I ducking and diving like Jacob? What bargains am I making with God, and what conditions am I setting on my walk with Him?
How are we hiding idols in our backpack, what are we keeping under wraps and what is jeopardising our spiritual wellbeing?
How close up with God am I? Am I allowing Him near enough to get hold of me and even tussle with me? Have I been to Peni-el, the face of God?
There is an invitation to bury the idols, and to worship God by being living sacrifices, totally abandoned to Him, nothing reserved for ourselves. This is true worship.
How am I trying to make life work for me? In what ways am I ducking and diving? Is there anything I need to repent of in that? • What bargains am I making with God about how life works out, and what conditions am I putting on our relationship? • Am I in any way treating God like a domestic charm, like God in the cupboard? • What idols am I carrying in the baggage? How might they jeopardise my walk with God? What am I placing before Jesus in my life? • Am I letting God get close up and personal and in my face, or am I keeping Him distant? Have I been to Peniel?
