Setting boundaries is the word God wants us to think about today. We are God’s design and this concept of boundaries can be understood at a very young age. Studies of numerous children have been conducted to see if children as young as six could understand the concept of boundaries. All of us remember our childhood during our school days; playing during recess time we would play in the field, play all sorts of games. In most schools the boundaries of where we are allowed to play is most often marked by a fence. Well on this occasion, the fence was removed, the boundaries were gone, yet these children did not go beyond the boundaries, instead they played closer to the school and would not venture further away.
This simple test reveals one true factor, that God sets boundaries in our lives for a purpose, for a reason. It is out of His love for us, not to make more rules for us that we feel like we are robots. Today, God is challenging us to reflect and look inside our hearts and see our lives. Ask yourself this question, are you walking the fine-line of the boundaries that God has placed in your heart? Or have you set strong boundaries in your heart that you would not even be tempted to see what is beyond that fence?
In God’s word He says to us all in 1 Corinthians 10:13, “No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.”
