For Protection and Direction - Guardrails

This message talks about protection and direction.

Daniel 1:8 (NIV)
But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way.

Three unchanging truths if you oppose guardrails

1) The tension that you feel will never go away

2) You will put the brakes on somewhere

3) Your appetites are never fully and finally satisfied

Guardrails do protect but they also direct

1) Daniel resolved

He set the guardrail because he could predict the end of his story

2) God caused

Stop asking God to act, start obeying and watch God react

3) God gave

Your guardrails influence more than yourself

4) They entered

Guardrails have an endless impact on your future
