Several years ago my husband and I planted a small garden. Since we live in an area where we have deer and rabbits in abundance, one of the things we did was put up a fence around it. Because of the fence, the rabbits and deer did not eat any of our vegetables.
The fence wasn't there to keep the vegetables in, it was to keep the animals that would destroy it out. The fence was a protective barrier around the garden. Daily the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy our lives so we have to have "protective barriers" around them also. Our protective barrier- our "fence"- is God's word. It is a protection to us as we stay within its safe boundaries.
When the enemy comes to tempt us to sin, God's word will protect us and keep us from yielding as we look to it and act upon it. God's word is a shield against his attacks to destroy us. God's word is a safe place for us- the temptations can't steal from us, the fiery darts can't destroy us, the weapons he uses against us can't kill us. As long as we stay within the safe perimeters of His word we will be protected and safe.
Don't take down your fence and leave yourself unguarded. Don't remove your fence and leave yourself open for the enemy to come in. Stay in God's word, hide it in your heart, stand upon its promises, renew your mind with it. By doing so you will keep your fence up and your life protected.
Have a great day. There is safety behind the "fence" of God's word.
