In many situations we find ourselves struggling to accept the things that keep us from doing what we want to do. There are many things that become obstacles or barriers in our daily lives. A barrier is defined as a “limit or boundary of any kind.”
We see barriers everywhere. Mostly in common places like the freeway. Now we ask ourselves why it is that we have a barrier in the freeway. Well it's simple. It keeps us in order. It doesn't let us stray in the wrong direction. If we didn't have these barriers in the freeway, we would most likely do something illegal or get into an accident. It would be a danger to us.
Another place we see this kind of barrier is in a relationship. We often find ourselves searching and wanting from a relationship. We don’t see the warning signs. We don’t pay attention to the red flashing arrows in front of us. We are so lost in our relationship that it’s so hard for us to see and accept that there are boundaries that we need to keep. Its okay to have boundaries if we're meant for that person it will happen, if we're not then God was saving us for someone better.
God often puts us in situations that we don’t like. We think that they are too hard for us to handle.But is it the fact that we can’t handle them? Or is it the fact that we won’t like the place or position that situation is going to leave us in?
God uses barriers to keep us from doing something that we'll regret. Or something that won’t benefit us in any way. We know that God has our back and that we need to obey him to live good lives. But we often forget that when we are in a certain situation. This barrier won’t let us do what we want.
A barrier can even be a person. God can help us not go into wrong paths by putting a person to completely stop or simply put a temporary pause to our plans. We have to keep in mind that sometimes, barriers are good. They give us limits on how much we can do according to God. Learn how to appreciate these barriers. The invisible barriers are much more real than we think. Things happen for a reason, people come and go. Just remember that God doesn't put us in situations we can’t handle. But most importantly, remember that he will never leave us.
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay. You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence,with eternal pleasures at your right hand. - Psalm 16:6-11
