2 Corinthians 10:13 “We however will not boast beyond measure but within the limits of the sphere which God has called us“
Did you know that the first state to implement “rumble strips” was New Jersey? Yep, on the Garden State Parkway in 1952. A rumble strip is applied along the side or center of a highway to warn drivers of danger when they drift from their lane. When the wheels cross over the rumble strip it causes a vibration and “rumbling” sound throughout the vehicle. If the rumble strips could talk, they would say, “Stay in your lane!” Today, I am your “spiritual rumble strip”, crying out to you, “Stay in your lane!”
In 2 Corinthians 10:13, Paul was encouraging believers to know their assignment. What heaven has mandated you for, heaven has anointed you for. You are wired and anointed for a specific purpose. The Greek the word for sphere is the word metron, which means a portion or measure, a boundary that should not be crossed. You need to know your assignment and draw on the anointing of God to fulfill your assignment. You don’t have time to waste veering off course into meaningless endeavors that God has not called you to do. Stay in your lane! Keep your eyes on the road ahead of you! Finish your course in 2021!
