Pleasant boundaries

The degree to which God leads his people is mind bending! I can find ample excuse to fret, question or even complain, until I am confounded by the truth about God in His Word. Psalm 104 is a song celebrating God’s authority. God’s poet cites the deluge in Noah’s day to highlight His power.
He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved.
You covered it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.
But at your rebuke the waters fled, at the sound of your thunder they took to flight; they flowed over the mountains, they went down into the valleys, to the place you assigned for them.
You set a boundary they cannot cross; never again will they cover the earth. (Verses 5-9)
We can refresh ourselves and build up our faith by remembering that God has never said, “Oops!” He sets the boundaries for our life.

This morning Pat and I are reveling in the goodness of God. Yesterday our second granddaughter, Joanna, was baptized in water. Her Dad, Jonathan, baptized seventeen others. Many of those obeying the Lord in baptism yesterday were the very first in their family. We wept as we realized that Joanna is the fifth generation on the paternal side of the clan, the third on the maternal side.

He has set the boundary that cannot be crossed. Thank you Father for sending Jesus to be our savior. You have set pleasant boundaries for us!
