God's boundaries are a blessing.

While we have a good sense of what God's boundaries are, its our own made up boundaries which either keep us in the will of God or even stretch us beyond it.

Sometimes we think God has all sorts of boundaries for us and instead we fall into a world of bondage God never intended us to be in.

The fact is that God has put a plan in place. Left to our own accord, we can't stay in his boundaries even if we wanted to. Paul explains this clearly in Romans 7 (For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.)

However, I am so glad that God's grace is sufficient, even when matched with my pure inefficiency and brokenness! When you realize your own brokenness, that's when it is a good idea to come to God in all humbleness and ask for his assistance so that we can live a righteous life in Christ.

What does that kind of life look like? A life within God's boundaries that supplies every need we have according to His riches in glory. Boundaries that protect us from every weapon formed against us.

In all, God's boundaries are a blessing, not a curse.
