The passage is describing the dimensions or boundaries of each of the tribes of Israel. Paga , when used in this context, is the extent to which a boundary reaches. It really shouldn't. It only seems logical to me that perimeters of protection be linked to prayer. What a comfort to know that this truth is inherent in the very meaning of the word.
Consistency is a key when it comes to prayer for protection.
The point is that it must be a lifestyle, not a once in awhile activity. Many believers' prayer lives are too sporadic to build solid walls of protection. Tomorrow, however, we must go again. Consistency is a key. Suggestions For Reflection Take time to consider Psalm 91 .
