Meaning.
The way in which something is regarded, understood, or interpreted.
1. Your Perception of a given situation is not always how others perceive it so lean not to your own understanding.
2. You can have a wrong Perception of a current situation because of the influence of the past if not updated.
3. Your Perception of a situation can also be dependant on who has briefed you about the situation especially if they want you to see through their lenses.
4. A Perception that dwells on a rumour is a dangerous one because it lacks facts and truth.
5. It is not fair to keep believing a wrong Perception you had on a situation when the actual truth has been given to you.
6. It hurts so bad to be a victim of wrong Perception.
7. In any situation you find yourself, never think you are the wisest or try to be a champion of interpreting every action , statement or body language of others. We are humans and perceive situations differently mainly because our backgrounds are different and opinions can be different too. Thank God we are living in a world where communication has been made so easy. Don’t interpret what you hear about someone in your own way when you can phone them and confirm. Don’t avoid someone you Perceive to be dangerous when you have never even encountered the danger they pause. Give someone a chance to be heard. An environment where Love thrives is possible if we can all approach & be approachable & advance LOVE as a VIRTUE not an EMOTION.
Matthew 16:13-16 KJV
When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Mark 6:49-51 KJV
But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:
For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.
And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.
Proverbs 3:5-8 KJV
……..and lean not unto thine own understanding…………..
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
“Lean not to your own understanding of things.” If you lean to your own understanding, then you’re bound to get off of the right road. You can’t lean to anyone else’s understanding, when it comes to Life. To find Life, you’ve got to lean to the Word. That’s Life”
