You can have a fantastic relationship with your neighbor but that doesn’t mean they’d make a good roommate. Sometimes the best way to keep things from boiling over into serious conflict is to have a firm, healthy boundary. Good fences make good neighbors, or something like that. We’re in Genesis 31, the part of the story when Jacob finally separates from his father-in-law, Laban, but not without a little high drama. If you feel like you need a refresher on what’s happened up to this point between Jacob and Laban, just go back two chapters to Genesis 29.

One of the riskiest things you can do is to trust someone else with a project or work that you’re deeply invested in. When we pour ourselves into something we want to make sure it goes well so asking someone else to join in that process can feel precarious. And yet, that’s exactly what Jesus did with his own disciples. We’re in Matthew 9:35 - 10:8, the part of the story where Jesus equips his disciples to do the same kind of ministry he’s been doing.

Do you have someone in your life that makes you feel so safe that you can fall apart around them and it’s okay? Those people are truly treasures and worthy of our loyalty, ongoing kindness, and love. Occasionally, it’s a good idea to let them know the place they hold in your life. We’re in Psalm 31 where David writes more like an aging king rather than a young shepherd. Still, we see how close he is with the LORD, close enough that he finds the freedom to be completely open.
