The Hidden Man

Proverbs 23:7 (KJV) For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

Sometimes it is impossible to figure out where people are coming from.  They tell a good story and talk a good line but there seems to be something that is not fitting.  While there is a danger in being judgmental in the wrong way, trust the nudging of the Holy Spirit.  There may be a danger you are unaware of.

I would add that this is also a plea for our own introspection.  It doesn’t hurt to question our own motives.  Remember the call to “judge not” in Matthew 7 is not a call to allow sin but a reminder to check your own eyes for beams.

So?  Just like we check our blood pressure, it is a good idea to look to our spiritual health.
