WHAT ARE GOD\u2019S BOUNDARIES FOR US?<\/span><\/p>\n

God\u2019s boundaries are his loving restraints to keep us from falling away from him. God\u2019s boundaries call us to right living for ourselves, to show mercy to others, and to have a relationship with him.\u00a0Right living with God and showing mercy to others-not a bad fence to live within, is it?<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

\"No,<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Micah 6:8<\/b> . . .<\/span>
\nNo, O people, the Lord has already told you what is good, and this is what<\/span>
\nhe requires: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with<\/span>
\nyour God.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\"Now,<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Deuteronomy 10:12-13<\/b> . . .<\/span>
\nNow, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? He requires you to<\/span>
\nfear him, to live according to his will, to love and worship him with all<\/span>
\nyour heart and soul, and to obey the Lord\u2019s commands and laws that I am<\/span>
\ngiving you today for your own good. God\u2019s commands and laws act as<\/span>
\nboundaries for us. We are to obey him out of our love and worship of him.<\/span>
\nOur motive is not the fence around us but the love for God within us.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\"He<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Job 26:10<\/b> . . .<\/span>
\nHe created the horizon when he separated the waters; he set the boundaries<\/span>
\nfor day and night.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

\"There<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Ecclesiastes 3:1<\/b> . . .<\/span>
\nThere is a time for everything, a season for every activity under heaven.<\/span>
\nGod provides boundaries of time and seasons for us. These provide certain<\/span>
\nparameters of predictability for our lives, giving us confidence that we<\/span>
\ncan trust in his reliability.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\"\u201cWho<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Job 38:8-11<\/b> . . .<\/span>
\n\u201cWho defined the boundaries of the sea as it burst from
\nthe womb, and as I clothed it with clouds and thick darkness? For I locked
\nit behind barred gates, limiting its shores. I said, \u2018Thus far and no
\nfarther will you come. Here your proud waves must stop!\u2019\u201d<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\"Then<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Psalm 104:9<\/b> . . .<\/span>
\nThen you set a firm boundary for the seas, so they would never again cover<\/span>
\nthe earth.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\"I<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Proverbs 8:29<\/b> . . .<\/span>
\nI was there when he set the limits of the seas, so they would not spread<\/span>
\nbeyond their boundaries. And when he marked off the earth\u2019s<\/span>
\nfoundations.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\"Do<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Jeremiah 5:22<\/b> . . .<\/span>
\nDo you have no respect for me?<\/span>
\nWhy do you not tremble in my presence? I, the Lord, am the one who defines<\/span>
\nthe ocean\u2019s sandy shoreline, an everlasting boundary that the waters cannot<\/span>
\ncross. The waves may toss and roar, but they can never pass the bounds I<\/span>
\nset.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
