Isaiah 30:21 “…and your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.’”
In Between HIS lines!
Who drew the lines in the sand which we cross? Who measured their length and the depth of each segment?
Which ones do we pass over without delay or perhaps hesitations so slight none can tell?
If Self drawn those marks, then Loss will befall you. If you choose their placement, then Stumbling shall come.
For those solely important are etched by the LORD; written down in each verse which HE gave us to learn.
In between HIS lines living then walk without wavering; without reading between them to write your own way.
As HIServant re-reminded that HIS restraining lines protect and are always for our good,

Devotional: Deuteronomy 4:2 Moses declares, “You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commands of the LORD your GOD which I command you.”
“Left to your own devices” is a most fearful area. It’s a crossed line which redefined what GOD said to interpret HIS WORD as we wish.
It’s like when the Jews shouted to Pilate in Matthew 27:25 “Let HIS blood be upon us and our children!”
They’d redefined the criteria, the line of delineation, which was clearly showing them CHRIST as the MESSIAH!
So as we read each verse in the Bible, moving from line to line through life…
…let’s stay within HIS lines embracing just HIS content and meaning.
Consider Revelation 22:18-19 “I testify to everyone who hears the words of prophecy in this book: If anyone adds to them, GOD will add to him the plagues described in this book.
19 And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, GOD will take away his share in the tree of life and the holy city, which are described in this book.”
After all, it is all written for our instruction and our good. So let’s stay in between the lines set by the LORD
Amen? Amen and amen!
