Summary
We serve a God of boundaries. In his limitless capacity, endless creativity, and boundless existence he still chose to create boundaries. He still had vision for what was good, right, pleasing, and perfect. And as children made in his image, we are to live, think, and create as he does. In a world marked by busyness from seemingly infinite opportunities, it’s important now more than ever for us to create boundaries. May you find freedom and joy this week as you receive vision and set boundaries under the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
Our Scripture for today comes from Proverbs 29:18, and today's worship is Be Thou My Vision by Audrey Assad.

Outro / Wrap Up:
Thanks so much for listening to today’s podcast, being a person of vision, the first in our week-long series on vision and boundaries.
Tomorrow we’ll begin looking at what it means to have vision for specific areas in our lives, starting with what it means to have vision for God. My hope is that God opens our eyes tomorrow in specific ways to see how we can live with a closer connection to him, moment by moment.
But for now, have a wonderful rest of your day. And may God bless you as you seek him.
