“The Lord Sets the Limits…”

“The Lord Sets the Limits…”

Blessings folk!

God determines the number of breaths that we will breathe as humans.

The Lord knows our beginning.
The Lord knows our end.
The Lord knows the purpose that He has for us.
The Lord knows the purpose for all that occurs in our lives.

Job gives some insight into such…

Job 14:1-5

“Man, who is born of woman,
Is short-lived and full of turmoil.

“Like a flower he comes forth and withers.
He also flees like a shadow and does not remain.

“You also open Your eyes on him
And bring him into judgment with Yourself.

“Who can make the clean out of the unclean?
No one!

“Since his days are determined,
The number of his months is with You;
And his limits You have set so that he cannot pass.

Yes, the Lord determines the length of our days.
These days are short-lived, particularly from the perspective of eternity.
They flee like a shadow.
We will not live beyond the limit set by God.

Job was in the midst of extreme persecution and tribulation.
His life had become turmoil.
Still, though questioning (near complaining), he knew the truth that our days are in the hand of the Lord.

Now, what will be our response?

Make use of every moment.
Redeem every breath.
Waste not what the Lord has granted.
