Boundaries

We often consider rules or boundaries to be a negative or a restrictive thing
However consider this
A couple with a young family moved into a new apartment in a high rise block
Everything was fine except for one thing
The balcony was only enclosed by a very low fence and this caused constant tension and anxiety
Worrying that the children might accidentally slip and go over the inadequate barrier
After a while the young couple resolved the problem by having a higher piece of fencing put in and life became a pleasure
With the reassurance and security brought by the more secure boundary they found freedom and peace of mind that they hadn't had before
And it can be the same for us
Without the boundaries that God places for us in His wisdom we are vulnerable and at risk
But ...... if we accept his boundaries, limitations etc we have freedom and peace of mind to enjoy all the benefits of life in the Kingdom
