Good morning everyone and welcome back to another morning with the masters where we devote

ourselves to the Lord daily with you. Good morning you guys. Good morning indeed. We're

picking up a new devotion to the Bible app titled Boundaries 101. Yes. Which is based off my

favorite book called Boundaries by John Townsend and Henry Cloud. So definitely go check it out.

There's a link in the description if you guys want to follow along with us and as always I'm

someone told you to go guard this property diligently because I will hold you responsible for what

happens here and then did not tell you the boundaries of the property or they did not give you the

means by which to protect the property. This would not only be confusing but also potentially

dangerous. This is exactly what happens to us emotionally and spiritually however. God

designed a world where we all live within ourselves. That is we inhabit our own souls and we are

responsible for the things that make up us. Each heart knows its own bitterness and no one else

can share its joy, Proverbs 1410. We have to deal with what is in our soul and boundaries help us

to define what that is. If we are not shown the parameters or are taught wrong parameters we are

in for much pain. The Bible tells us clearly what our parameters are and how to protect them
