[Discoveries] 02-22-08 Boundaries -- Genesis 6:3

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*"My Spirit will not contend with man forever ... " -- Genesis 6:3*/

Everyone needs boundaries, and even God sets boundaries for Himself. 
There is a limit to what He will put up with.

This is a great comfort. The more we learn about what evil exists in 
this world, the more disgusting and overwhelming it may seem. But the 
time will come when God says, "Enough is enough."

Like every boundary, there are two sides. On this side of the boundary, 
God limits Himself. If we open the door, God walks in. If we slam it 
shut, He stays out. Here God contends with men and women, navigating 
through the choices made in a fallen world.

But on the other side of the boundary, God stops contending. The die is 
cast. We are revealed for who we truly are, and eternity awaits.

Every day I think about our brothers and sisters who suffer persecution 
because of who they are in Christ. All of us suffer with them; all of us 
feel their pain. But God has declared that He will not contend forever. 
Soon comes the freedom of the sons and daughters of God.

Be encouraged!
