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
