Isaiah 30:10 (NKJV) Who say to the seers, “Do not see,” And to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us right things; Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits.
O // OBSERVATION
Why did this verse get your attention? Make a simple observation from the text
There is a human tendency hear what I want to hear and to believe what I want to believe. The Bible also refers to ‘itching ears’ that seek out teachers who tell them what they want to hear.
Some would rather hear what makes them feel better rather than things that are hard to hear. In these situations, truth is expendable. Truth becomes a casualty.
A // APPLICATION
How can I apply this to my life today?
Everyone likes going to the doctor and getting good news. But there are times you need to hear bad news to fight a health issue.
It is spiritually deadly to only hear what you want to hear.
P // PRAYER
Express yourself in prayer
Lord, give me truth no matter how hard it is to hear. Amen.
