We are defined by the object of our worship which determines our ultimate destiny. Daddy, I think I need a spanking. Astonishing words from the lips of my five and a half year old grandson. Because daddy, I've done something that you told me not to do.
Children find great security in just, righteous, secure boundaries.
Like little children, adults find security in the boundaries that are set by our loving Heavenly Father. Those boundaries are listed for us in Exodus 20. They seem to mock God for setting boundaries and ridicule people who seek to abide within God's boundaries. To those who want to run their own lives, God's boundaries are like fitting round pegs in square holes. Some people view the ten commandments as the metallic fist of God.
