Isaiah 11:2-4 -- On Truth

"And 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;
And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked."
Isaiah 11:2-4


The idea that Christ won't judge after teh sight of his eyes or the hearing of his ears is interesting here, and I think letting us know that he can't be decieved. In our world of fake news, deepfakes, and other blatant and pervasive deception, Christ still knows the truth.

Today, let's trust the Lord to know the truth, and follow him firmly, even when the world around us follows another path. He is the source of truth, and the one that can help us when we don't know what or who to believe. We can always believe in and follow Him.
