“My dear friends, don’t believe everything you hear. Carefully weigh and examine what people tell you.” (I John 4: 1, Message Bible)
This biblical wisdom is so relevant today. We must be alert to what is real and true, and not believe all that we hear, or even everything that we see, even if the source seems credible to us.
We have the precious gift of discernment. This isn’t about experience or education. This spiritual awareness is the ability to recognize what is right and valid over what may appear to be true, and at times alarming. This ability to rightly weigh and examine things comes from God. When we pause and look to Him, we are able to set aside our own human opinions, fears, or ingrained prejudices, and see what is real, what is God’s Truth to know.
And, likewise, we can recognize the deception, even if it seems to simulate truth. We can see that what we hear from people or even what the senses might tell us, does not present the whole story. The limited view has a personal, subjective spin, even when it is well-meaning. We must be willing to work a little harder. We must give up the easy way, being sheep following the herd, thinking another must know something we don’t.
God is wise and He has the good word on everything. Use your God-given spiritual senses. Weigh what you hear carefully. Be sure it rings true with God—with Love, with justice, with peace. If it is of God, then we can surely believe it, accept it, and share it!
