Boundaries Have a Purpose! Exercising self-control and self-discipline, and establishing boundaries and borders in our life are some of the most important things we can do. A life that has no discipline is one thats filled with carelessness. The Word of God establishes the necessary boundaries to keep us in Gods safety zone. It tells us what we can do, and what we better not do, to be safe. As Christians we can think its kind of exciting to live life on the edge. We like the image of Yeah! Thats me! Living on the edge! Its become a popular way of looking at life. But to be honest, God doesnt want us living on the edge, because if were living on the edge, then we have no margin for error. Highways have lines, one on each side and one in the center. These lines provide margins for our safety while were driving. If we go over the line on one side, well go into the ditch. If we cross over the line in the middle, we could get killed. We like those lines because they help keep us safe. Its like that in our personal lives, too. When we have boundaries, borders, and margins, we feel much better and experience Gods peace. The key is to go to Gods Word, where He has laid out all the boundaries we need to live by. Let God direct your path every day. Prayer Starter: God, I recognize the need for boundaries in my life. As I read Your Word, show me how to apply Your healthy boundaries in my life today.
