Job 1:6-10
Last week's message had to do with prayer...No relationship prospers without communication...
People talk to their plants, their cars, their pets. etc.
Jesus, in the Lord's prayer, gave us a blueprint to start....
There are some things we talk about with God and I want to talk about some further things we can pray; and some things we can ''build'' in prayer this morning, specifically what the bible calls hedges... If you think about reaching heaven, having access to ''resources that touch earth'' it makes me think about what I can ask God, and the resources lead me to thinking what can be built in that relationship...

NKJV
Job 1:6-10 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them. 7 And the LORD said to Satan, ''From where do you come?''
So Satan answered the LORD and said, ''From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.''
8 Then the LORD said to Satan, ''Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?''
9 So Satan answered the LORD and said, ''Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.
NKJV

Three things that scripture tells us is protected in Job's life.

Job's family
Job's possessions...
Satan tells God that he can't touch Job because of the protection of God around him!
