BUILDING BOUNDARIES

Mortals have a limited life span. You’ve already decided how long we’ll live—
you set the boundary and no one can cross it. Job 14:5

ACKNOWLEDGING NEED

I’m letting you know what I need, calling out for help Psalm 28:2

Don’t turn your back on me just when I need you so desperately. Pay attention!
This is a cry for help! And hurry—this can’t wait! Psalm 102:2

         LEARNING CAPABILITIES

“No one is capable of coming to me on his own. You get to me only as a gift
from the Father.” John 6:65

         AFFIRMING LIMITS

I see the limits to everything human, but the horizons can’t contain your
commands! Psalm 119:96

          NEW ROUTINES

If you handle the work this way, you’ll have the strength to carry out whatever God commands you, and the people in theirsettings will flourish also. Exodus 18:23

         CARING

You’re blessed when you care. At the moment of being ‘care-full,’ you find yourselves cared for. Matthew 5:7

         ESTABLISHING RULES

But by shifting our focus from what we do to what God does, don’t we cancel out all our careful keeping of the rules andways God commanded? Not at all. What happens, in fact, is that by putting that entire way of life in its proper place, we confirm it. Romans 3:31
