Hindered from seeing the Truth

And blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) is he who takes no offense at Me and finds no cause for stumbling in or through Me and is not hindered from seeing the Truth. Matthew 11:6 AMP

Let's start with a question today, is there anyone hindering you from seeing the Truth? Sometimes it can be other people who are hindering us from following Jesus with our whole heart. Paul posed this question to the Galatians.

You were running the race nobly. Who has interfered in (hindered and stopped you from) your heeding and following the Truth? Galatians 5:7 AMP

Sometimes it can be our own selfish nature that hinders us from seeking after Jesus. Our fears can lead us try control people and situations. Our preoccupation with being in control hinders our ability to seek God's plan or view of the circumstance.  God always has a plan and it is always good. He has to be our focus.

Those who think they can do it on their own end up obsessed with measuring their own moral muscle but never get around to exercising it in real life. Those who trust God's action in them find that God's Spirit is in them - living and breathing God! Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end; attention to God leads us into the open, into a spacious, free life.  Romans 3:5-6 The Message

Let's be people who give our entire attention to God, so He can lead us into a spacious, free life. Question for today, are you being hindered from seeing the Truth, either by external or internal means? Why not take time today to sit at the feet of Jesus and ask Him to show you the cause of the hindering, and to give you a strategy for removing it.

But for you who welcome him, in whom he dwells - even though you still experience all the limitations of sin - you yourself experience life on God's terms. It stands to reason, doesn't it, that if the alive-and-present God who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life, he'll do the same thing in you that he did in Jesus, being you alive to himself? When God lives and breathes in you (and he does, as surely as he did in Jesus), you are delivered from the dead life. With his Spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christ's! Romans 8:10-11 The Message
