Listen to this message:

“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements — surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone, when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Or who shut in the sea with doors when it burst out from the womb, when I made clouds its garment and thick darkness its swaddling band, and prescribed limits for it and set bars and doors, and said, ‘Thus far shall you come, and no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stayed’?”

Job 38:4–11

Throughout both the creation narrative and the rest of history we see God’s wisdom in delineating boundaries between all things. He made a boundary between the heavens and the Earth and He made a boundary between water and land. He made a boundary between light and darkness and He made a boundary between male and female. He set boundaries for our sexuality and He set boundaries for our moral behavior, just like He set boundaries for the laws of physics and chemistry. Later in scripture we see that God delineated the languages through the incident at the tower of Babel, and after that He set apart Israel as a nation separate from other nations for the purpose of bringing for the the Messiah. In Acts 17:26, it is written that God determined the boundaries for the many countries and various peoples on Earth.
