Are You Allowing People, Places, or Things To Obstruct Your View Of God or To Keep You From Hearing God Clearly?

Have you ever thought of changing positions?   If there is an object in front of you, your view of that object is dependent on where and how you are standing?   If you are standing behind another person, a part of your view may be obstructed.   When something is obstructed, it is blocked or cut off.    Understand, people can be an obstruction to your view of God.    However, if you move over or if they move out of the way, you can see God clearly.   

Not only can our view of God be obstructed but our ability to hear God can be obstructed as well.   There are many sounds in the earth.   There are many voices that are speaking to us daily.   We hear people speaking to us and we also hear the situations in our lives speaking to us.    Bills talk.  Not only do they talk they cause emotions to arise.   They can cause us to walk in fear, worry, and doubt.   So can people.   People can give us their opinion and if we are not rooted and grounded in what God has said, we can allow the opinions of others to dictate our actions.   

It's time to get in position.   We have to be in a position where we see and hear God clearly.   We have to be in a place where we are rooted and grounded in Him so that when the winds of life try to blow us down, we still stand strong because we see God clearly and we know what He has said to be true.

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION 

Psalms 1:3 - And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 

Jeremiah 17:8 - For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
