Read:Jeremiah 5:21-31,[object Object]
I Know, O Lord, ,[object Object],that Your judgments are right, ,[object Object],and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.,[object Object],-Psalm 119:75,[object Object]
In the game of golf, out-of-bounds or O. B. markers designate when a ball has gone out of play. If a player’s ball goes out-of-bounds, a one-stroke penalty is imposed.,[object Object],The prophet Jeremiah warned the southern kingdom of Judah about their persistent rejection of God’s boundaries for them. He said that even the sea knows that the sand on the seashore is its O. B. marker, “an everlasting barrier it cannot cross” (Jer. 5:22 NIV). Yet, the Lord’s people had defiant and rebellious hearts (v.23). There was no fear of God, who gave them rain for their crops (v.24). They grew rich on deceit (v.27) and ignored the pleas of the disadvantaged (v.28).,[object Object],God has given moral boundaries in His Word for us to live within. He gave them not to frustrate us but so that by keeping within them we may enjoy His blessings. David wrote: “I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are right” (Ps. 119:75). God told Israel through Moses, “I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life” (Deut. 30:19).,[object Object],Don’t test God’s boundaries and invite His correction. Make wise choices to live within His O. B. markers in His Word.,[object Object]
The Lord has given us commands,And told us to obey;Our own designs are sure to fail,If we neglect His way!,[object Object], -Bosch,[object Object]
A small step of obedience is a giant step to blessing.,[object Object]
