Boundaries are to:
He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since He is Lord of heaven and earth, He doesn’t live in man-made temples, and human hands can’t serve His needs—for He has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything, and He satisfies every need. From one man He created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand when they should rise and fall, and He determined their boundaries. His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him—though He is not far from any one of us. For in him we live and move and exist. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.
Acts 17:24-28
Paul says a boundary is purposed to direct us to seek God and find our way toward Him.
Enjoy, celebrate, and live freely in the boundaries God sets for me.
