We tend to interpret our perspective by comparing it to our observation of other's actions.
We see someone do something and apply our motives to their actions and conclude what their motivation must be. If we speak out judgement on their action, we reveal not their motivation but ours, and therefore condemn ourselves.
Description
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know. 6 Recognize Him in all your ways, and he will make your paths straight. |

Reality!
Reality is perception, perception is interpretation, interpretation is where we screw up. Don't trust in your interpretation!

Running Interference
God has our back. Though we "see through a glass darkly" He is the One who opens and closes doors.
Awareness
A while back I was sitting in our living room and noticed, through the patio doors, a red light flashing. It was between the vertical blinds that I saw a flashing red light and I asked Harrison, "What is that?".
"That's the cell phone tower they put up a few weeks ago"' he said. I asked, shocked at my own lack of awareness, "It's been there for weeks? His answer was a simple "yes".
What else is going on that I am not aware of? Such a profound question. Do you realize it's implications, when we are distracted and occupied by the enemies strategies?
