How often have you interpreted a facial expression or decided what another is thinking?
What a dangerous thing.
The Bible says that man looks on the external, but only God can see the heart. It is the need for control that fills in the blanks. If you do not know, you do not know. When you guess as to another’s motive or thinking, the tendency is to treat the conclusion as truth, whereupon you will put your weight on your guess and move forward, treating the matter as though you looked upon the heart.
The ultimate arrogance is to assume you know what is not known to man.
Grace assumes the best.
Grace ministers Love.
Grace considers God's knowledge to be superior to any human guess.
The sin of assumption has caused many wars.
The sin of assumption results in prejudice.
The sin of assumption has divided families and churches.
Soldier of The Cross, if you see, that is one thing. If you assume your guesses are sight, you are in trouble and you will cause trouble.
You must be sure to take these things to the Lord in prayer and lay them at His feet. Tell Him you want to see by faith and that you will leave the matter with Him.
Tell Him aloud.
