God is teaching us how to set clear boundaries.

“You have set a boundary that they may not pass over, That they may not return to cover the earth.” Psalms 104:9

Have you ever seen a palm tree? It is beautiful in how it spreads itself out with it’s leaves. It is no coincidence that God says, the righteous will flourish like the palm tree (see Psalm 92:12). One area God is particularly desiring for us to flourish in is our relationships with people. He is showing us how to set clear boundaries and how to respect other people’s boundaries. God set boundaries in the earth and told the waters they can only go so far, never to cover the earth again. He sets boundaries, and He expects His children to do the same. Most often we find ourselves feeling angry and frustrated and it is because a boundary was crossed.

I challenge you today to let God help you:

  • Communicate and set clear boundaries
  • Respect people’s boundaries
  • Apologize when you’ve crossed someone’s boundaries

  1. Yes Pastor Trippet your message today from God is so on point. I’ve just had to end a christian realationship with a sister because she crossed boundaries I had set in place repeatedly in our friendship. Now I have to to seek the Lord that her retaliation doesn’t stand

  2. Hello,
    Your daily Devotionals are always right on time. I struggle with boundaries and setting them . Mine continually get crossed and I lash out in anger, extreme anger and frustration . My boundary mainly is… Don’t call me a liar, if you can’t believe me we have no relationship.
    But I come here today, not so much for this particular message, but this message can tie into it.
    I have been feeling a large mass in my upper right abdomen , for over a year. When a nurse practitioner examined me I was laying on my back, it bulges out when I sit up or stand. At first it didn’t hurt, it only bothered me, like I have to reposition myself in bed, in a chair, on the bike at the gym- I have to push it back in. So now I’m seeing an ob/gyn, and a gastroenterologist , and they check only the areas they specialize in. I work from home , I’m almost unable to sit at my desk lately. Right now , it’s hurting. I believe this is a hernia . When it first started I went to the er and my complaint was, “it feels like something is falling out of me”. I have recently bought burial insurance, because I don’t know that they will find what my issue is in time to save me. The doctors are crossing my boundaries , I have 5 siblings that constantly cross my boundaries – because they don’t believe me – EVER. I am 56, a mother of 3 grown daughters , I live alone , and became very lonely when the pandemic hit. I started drinking as a means to relieve the fear and loneliness , of course this backfired and messed up all relationships. I would lash out via group text messages . So now , I don’t have anyone, not really. I mean I never really had them in the sense of what siblings should be. But I feel like, I’m just done. My eldest sister was poking fun at me yesterday via group text , saying I’m pregnant , and I don’t have a mass, this hurts me to my core. Please pray for me , I have an ultrasound on Tuesday but it’s a transvaginal one,I don’t think this is the correct area to look. This thing is behind my right rig cage, hits it so much that now whatever it is is bruised and causes pain every time it hits it. I’m at the point I don’t even care if it’s bad news, I just need to know what it is. And the biggest part of me wants to be able to prove it to “my siblings” that I’m not a liar. I don’t even pray for healing, I’m praying for a diagnosis , at this point . I do realize how bad this sounds , but believe me, it feels so much worse than it sounds

    1. Good Morning, can u please make my reply anonymous. I can’t figure out how to delete it and repost without my full name

    2. Good Morning sister in Christ, it’s ok I think the Lord allowed your name to be shown (even if you didn’t) So that we all could lift your name up before the heavenly throne. I can feel your pain not just physical but to not be taken serious is hurtful among the physical pain as well. I pray that you would receive both a complete healing and explanation for what is going on. I pray and ask this according to the scripture that we are healed by the stripes of Jesus and healing for the anguish you have felt while dealing with family in the precious name of Jesus who is able to heal and deliver us out of all our troubles.
      With Love
      Your sister in Christ

      AMEN!

    3. You have a lot on Rossi and you need to hand it over to Jesus.

      Hand yourself to Him.

      Wen I was in a lot of pain I took Communion 3 times a day and claimed my healing it was the first thing to help me.

      I’m praying for your healing so that you can get on with loving and serving Jesus.

      Don’t give up.
