God Establishes Boundaries with Purpose

God, in His perfect wisdom, designed creation with boundaries—dividing the waters above from those below. This wasn’t just an act of order; it was an act of love. Boundaries are not barriers to freedom, but a framework for flourishing. They create space for life, growth, and connection with Him.

Reflection:
Where in your life might you need to create or strengthen boundaries that make room for God and His Word? Have you experienced success with setting limits in the past? What support could help you maintain them now?

Prayer Focus:
Spend a moment and ask God for the courage to walk within your boundaries and protect them from being crossed. Ask a trusted friend or mentor to help you think of ways to stick to your set boundaries.

Genesis 1:6-8 New Living Translation
Then God said, “Let there be a space between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth.” 7 And that is what happened. God made this space to separate the waters of the earth from the waters of the heavens. 8 God called the space “sky.”
And evening passed and morning came, marking the second day.
