Our scripture lesson today comes from the book of Numbers, just a couple of verses there to give

context, Numbers, chapter 34, verse 1 and 2.

The Lord said to Moses, command the Israelites and say to them,

when you enter Canaan, the land that will be allotted to you as an inheritance is to have these boundaries.

It's to have these boundaries.

And then it goes on to delineate the various boundaries

for the various tribes of Israel.

And so I want to talk today from the subject of simply

respect boundaries.

Respect boundaries.

It was God himself who established boundaries. Remember when the earth was chaotic,

the main reason that it was chaotic is because there were no boundaries. So the first thing that God

did as he came into a chaotic world. And I want you to understand

this very carefully. Remember that in the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth,

darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the earth was without form because it had no

boundaries.

Boundaries are the things that give us a form.

And so I want you to realize God was there and God had created something, the earth was there,

but it was without boundaries, without form, and it was void.

It is to show that God can be there in your life.

The Bible says that the spirit of God hovered over.

He was there.
