Hedges

Hedges…

You need hedges in your life. They’re meant to protect you. The word in Hebrew is charootz – which means a hedge or a trench, but it also means a decision or determination, as in digging in.

It’s a decision, as if you’re digging a trench, of what will be in your life and what won’t be. Draw the line. This is the line for the hedge in your marriage, in your prayer life, your relationship with the opposite sex, for your time in the Word.

You can’t have hedges without determination. Make your decision, protect your life, build your trench, and build it big. That means you stay far away from that sin, far away from the temptation, and you’ll have a blessing and a lot of room for growth in God.

You need to make your hedge, which will only be as strong as your commitment. Dig your trench, build your hedge, make your decision and make it strong, for as the Hebrew “charootz” reveals, your hedge is only going to be as strong and as real as the decision you make in the Lord.

And do not give the devil a foothold. Ephesians 4:27

Make the commitment today to put up strong hedges and stand firm on your commitment.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
