gaurdrails

The Lord puts guardrails (for a mental picture, imagine the things that are found on highways) in our lives, not to RESTRICT us, but to PROTECT us from plunging into something dangerous.

He has called us to not be foolish.  We know the Lord wants for us in our lives, and we choose to live a different life than that.  There is much at risk, and we are too careless. We choose things that cause us to loose control or impair our judgement. We are called to set guardrails up not in the danger zone, but several feet before we even get close to harm's way.  We are called to be filled with the spirit and to listen to our conscious, even if it places us in an awkward situation.  We are called to something great as believers, and it is time that we choose the Lord's will for our daily lives.
