Do not remove the ancient landmark

In the days of Israel, a landmark was more than a stone boundary in a field. It was a witness of covenant, an anchor of inheritance, and a reminder of divine order. To move a landmark was to tamper with identity and to rob generations of what God intended for them. In a very real sense, landmarks were sacred. They were not just about property lines but about preserving the heritage God had ordained for His people.

Today, though physical landmarks have lost their weight in many cultures, spiritual and moral landmarks remain. These are the boundaries of holiness, purity, family, truth, and worship that our forefathers established by the wisdom of God’s Word. They are values that once held communities together and kept society from descending into chaos. Proverbs 22:28 warns us that these should not be removed lightly, for when they are, much more is lost than a mere stone in a field—our future inheritance is stolen.
