Genesis 30:25-31:55   Roadmap for tonight:   - God blesses Jacob in wrestling with Laban   - God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility   - Jacob’s life being transformed   “Hard times come to us all.  But how we respond to them, how we interpret them, and what attitudes we settle into - those are the choices we get to make.  That’s what we can control…..what narrative am I constructing for my life?  How will I interpret what is in front of me and where I’ve been?  Will I let the hard parts bring me down and keep me from delighting in the good?  The story you tell yourself about your life will dictate how you view God, your own capacity and potential, and your future.  Consider the narrative you are creating…” - From Calm Your Anxious Heart   “The presence of God is our true strength…. When God is your supreme value, your ultimate good - when you would rather have a lowly place with God than a comfortable place without Him - then no matter what pain washes into your life, your deepest joy cannot be threatened
