Living within the boundaries of God!

Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ” Matthew 4:7

On my walk yesterday, the Holy Spirit spoke to me about living in the boundaries of God and gave me this example of scripture to illustrate this truth.

Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness and was tempted by Satan. The devil told Jesus to jump off the pinnacle of the temple and the angels would protect Him. Jesus responded “You shall not tempt the Lord your God.”

Jesus had the ability to jump off the top of the temple and save Himself but He knew the importance of living in the boundaries of God. He rejected this temptation and was obedient to His Father.

There is a safe haven when you live in oneness with God. He will lead you beside the still waters and cover you with His peace.

The problems of life take place when you venture outside the boundaries of God. This is why it so important for a believer to be united with God through His Spirit.

Jesus prayed that you would live in oneness with Him even as He was one with His Father. This will lead you into the perfect and acceptable will of God.

Ask God to be a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your pathway and take every thought captive to the obedience of Jesus Christ.

Thought for the day:

“There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.”
