Setting Boundaries

“He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation.”

(Acts 17:26)

Two things from this passage.  First, Paul’s “one man” reference is to Adam.  If the book of Genesis is just a figurative account, then Paul’s argument for God’s providential care is moot.  We must accept the whole Bible from Genesis to Revelation, or the foundation of our trust in the New Testament crumbles.

Second, isn’t it wonderful that God has set the boundaries of your life?  Boundaries keep us safe, and they give us freedom to live with purpose.  God knows your times and seasons, and He will safely guard you from anything that is “out of bounds”.

Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
