This picture makes me think about the power and safety of a boundary. Some boundaries are meant to secure protection for an area, like fences, guardrails and even speed limits. There are also moral boundaries that mark a limit to our personal behavior. God knows that we need boundaries. His sacred truths are bound in the pages of the Bible. His Word is like a guardrail meant to keep us on the right path. The Bible instructs us to put a boundary around God’s truths so we’ll know what is right and trustworthy.
Guard my teachings as the apple of your eye. Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart. Prov. 7:2-3
