BOUNDARIES

Then God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear"; and it was so. Genesis 1:9

The third protocol is 'boundaries'. God established boundaries for the waters and the dry land. Each had their space of operation. Each knew how far it had to go.

To have order in our lives, we must establish personal boundaries. We must know our limits. We must determine the kinds of things we would do and the kinds of things we will not do.

We must know how far we can go in a relationship so that it does not degenerate to bring dishonour to the Lord.

Personal boundaries can also serve as limits or borders that define the amount of physical and emotional space you allow between yourself and others.

The type of boundaries you set defines whether you have healthy or unhealthy relationships.

Setting clear personal boundaries will ensure your relationships are mutually respectful and supportive.

They also will protect you from exploitative relationships and help you avoid getting too close to people who don't have your best interests at heart.

On the other hand, weak boundaries leave you vulnerable and likely to be taken for granted or taken advantage of by others.

Setting personal boundaries will also protect you from violating God's eternal principles, and make your journey to success and prosperity a joyous adventure.

Where there are no boundaries, chaos and disorder reign. So set some personal boundaries for yourself.

Prayer: Lord, give me wisdom to set boundaries for myself

Scriptural Reading: Genesis 1:9-13
