The Filters Through Which We View the World — December 29, 2009
Summary: We each approach the world with our own set of filters. All our experiences lay down neural pathways, and whatever we see and hear is somewhat molded based our personal history. This verse is a Messianic prophecy that points us forward to Jesus. It says that He can see the whole truth of a matter and isn't so quick to make a decision based on first appearances.
Verse: "There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots. The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. His delight is in the fear of the Lord, and He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears."
—Isaiah 11:1-3
