Matter of Perspective

Do not move your neighbor’s boundary stone set up by your predecessors in the inheritance you receive in the land the Lord your God is giving you to possess. Deuteronomy 19:14

It is our nature to want more. God’s directive not to take property from your neighbor by moving the property lines is to protect your neighbor, but it is also designed to remind you to give thanks for what God has given to you. This word spoken before they ever entered the Promised Land, points out that is land “God is giving you to possess.” Consider all God has given to you. Don’t waste your time trying to get what he has given to someone else—use that time to thank him for all he has given you. Begin with the life he gave you in the sacrifice of Jesus. Have a great day!
