Don't move an ancient boundary marker that your ancestors set up.

Proverbs 22:28 CSB

Why do I even need to be told this?

Because my heart can be so sneaky that my desire for more will just crib a bit off you, make that deal a little sweeter for me, take an advantage wherever I can.

It really is a heart thing. 

Jesus moved the boundary markers, not in his direction, but in ours. Paul in Philippians 2 describes him as a servant. Serving us!

Have I ever been tempted to sneak the boundary marker in my neighbours direction? 

Every time we give without expecting or wanting anything in return, every time we reach out, step towards encourage someone without our own agenda, every time we sit and listen without having to speak or fix, every time we wait with or wait for someone who is hurting, suffering in some way, every time we serve with contentment, give joyfully, we are moving the boundary marker towards our neighbour. 

May we find a way today to nudge a boundary today.
