THE LIBERTY OF BOUNDARIES

Today’s Scriptures

So Jacob took an oath before the fearsome God of his father, Isaac, to respect the boundary line. Genesis 31:53b (NLT)

Today's TO DO
Trust that the boundaries that you see before you are for your good.

Jacob and his father-in-law Laban established a pile of stones as a boundary between them. Each man vowed to stay on his side and agreed that they would never cross the boundary to harm the other. Without the establishment of the boundary pact, Jacob would have had to contend with the fear of Laban’s pursuit and retaliation. The interesting thing was that raising a pile of stones freed him to explore his new world under the covering of his God, as well as the blessing of his father-in-law.

Therefore: Dispel the notion that boundaries are always erected to confine and enslave. More often than not, when boundaries are set by responsible, thoughtful people who have your best interest at heart, boundaries will serve to protect and guide you towards purpose. When God sets boundaries, trust that they are always for your good! He sees where you are going. Unfortunately, you only see the present. Just like being a citizen of a nation is defined by boundaries on a map and affords you rights and protections, choosing to walk within the boundaries that The Holy Spirit directs awards you the covering of Grace. God’s covering gives you the liberty to thrive without fear because you know that He will set boundaries that will help direct your path.
