Psalm 139:5 You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.
If we are willing to listen and obey, the Lord can get to work easily and make sure we have a hedge of protection build up around us and we have the ultimate care right now.
If we are not willing, then He has to spend all His time chasing after us and trying to get us back on track.
The more we do things our own way, the more we make God work harder and the less time we have to enjoy what God can do for us.
