My Abide App devotional was spot on this morning and I had to share some of the wisdom. May this truth touch your heart as it did mine.
John 7:24 tells us to “look beneath the surface so you can judge correctly.” The NKJV tell us to “judge with righteous judgment.”
It’s easy to jump to conclusions without knowing the whole story. We all do it.
We see or hear something and our prejudices rise up and dominate our perception.
But remember this… things aren’t always as they seem.

When we say something people don’t understand or don’t want to to understand, they immediately accuse us of judgment.
We can’t see anything clearly without Holy Spirit. If we’re not asking Him for help, we’re in big trouble.
Sometimes the things that seem obvious to you are actually wrong. You haven’t listened long enough or searched deeply enough. Guilty.
Think back over your conversations, your social media posts, your actions with your children or parents. Have you reacted without really listening?
Listen carefully, but don’t try to listen without Holy Spirit.
A prayer from today’s devotional…
Change my heart, Lord. Help me to listen better and to earnestly seek the truth instead of settling for prejudice.
