Proverbs - Boundaries/Landmarks


Proverbs 22:28

Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.




The ancient landmark seems like a strange thing to talk about but these landmarks established boundaries and memorials that were pertinent to all the generations that followed.  The next generations were not to go about living without taking into consideration the experiences and lines drawn from those who had gone before them.  How about your parents?  Did they teach you things that you should be implementing into your life or have you removed these ancient landmarks?  Were there disciplines and values they gave you that you should be careful to uphold and pass on to the next generation? Going back even further, let us not move the ancient landmarks given to us by Moses, David and Paul.  When we approach God’s boundaries handed down to us by men who were moved upon by the Holy Spirit, don’t move them based on culture of bias.  Receive God’s boundaries.  His lines fall unto us in pleasant places.
