There are limits placed on everything we do, most of which serve a good purpose. As adults, we set boundaries for our children to protect them from harm. Yet, what about the limits we place on God? Why do we think we can confine the word of God? Who are we to dictate how to worship? While some may argue that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, they are correct—He is. Hebrews 13:7-8 encourages us to remember our leaders who shared God’s word with us and to reflect on their faith. However, we often allow our traditions to restrict what He can accomplish in our lives.

Staying stuck in the past hinders our progress in the Lord. Just because previous generations worshipped in a certain way doesn’t mean we must follow that path or enforce it on our children. Christ came to fulfill the law, not abolish it (Matthew 5:17-19). We risk creating a path of blindness when we place traditions above Jesus. In doing so, we might inadvertently elevate others over Him, forgetting that our access to the Father flows through Christ.

As 2 Corinthians 3:12-18 reminds us, we don’t have to wear a veil over our hearts; turning to the Lord removes that veil, granting us freedom in His Spirit. To move beyond limitation, we must direct our focus on Jesus and access the Father through Him (John 14:3-7).

The bottom line is to step out from behind the veil, remove the limitations, and allow the Lord to fulfill His extraordinary plans for your life.
