Out of Bounds

Games have rules, and for good reason. Without rules, games would be no fun. Sure, at first it would seem like fun but the ensuing chaos would quickly destroy fun and friendship alike. It’s good to know where out of bounds is. The Christian life is like this. We have been given the rules, commandments, and statutes of God, so that we might go freely in his good ways. Let’s spend time meditating on his commands so we may grow in love for the righteous splendor of Christ, and in hatred for and avoidance of all that displeases and dishonors the One who loves us so. May we pray and say with David,

I will run in the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart!

Psalm 119:32
