Boundaries
Psalm 16:6 - David says
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places
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
