Is our perception based on what we know or what we see? Are we motivated by what we know in our hearts or what we see in the world?

What might be true in the natural realm may be very untrue in spiritual realm. Unless the Holy Spirit reveals truth to our hearts we judge solely on our own experiences. Our only means of interpretation is past experience. How accurate is that? What if our experience is flawed or colored by negative emotion or pain? How can we know what is truth?

John 16:13:13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future.

In these days much seems and even looks like truth. The challenge for believers in Christ is to seek understanding that is not worldly but Godly through the Holy Spirit.

Lord God please help us to have discernment about all things that we may not become ensnared in the enemy's web of deception. Help us to operate in understanding and wisdom. We know that You are the Way, the Truth and the Life. Help us to abide in you always and see through Your eyes and not our own. Forgive us Father for times we have seen things in light of the world and our own flesh. In Jesus name, Amen
