“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.” Philippians 4:8 (NIV)
99.9% of the time, whenever we assume something, our assumptions are usually wrong. When we assume, we are making judgements without knowing the real facts.
Assumptions have a way in keeping our minds preoccupied all throughout the day, and if we aren’t careful we will create emotions about something that doesn't exist and hasn’t been proven to be true.
Typically, assumptions are negative and can send a harmful message to our physical body and quite naturally, the body will respond as if everything it feels is real.
Don’t let assumptions ruin you. If you feel it’s important to know something, it is wise to ask. We can’t think on “whatever is true” if we don’t know what is true. We must get the facts so we can have peace of mind.
