#248 Don't Assume: Let's Get Rid of these False Assumptions in 2026

Scripture: John 14:6–7
Jesus said, “I am the Road, also the Truth, also the Life. No one gets to the Father apart from Me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know Him. You’ve even seen Him!”

The Gist:

❤️ 1 Peter 5:7: “Give all your worries to God, for He cares about you.” Don’t assume God doesn’t care about all your worries, big & small, and the above love, care, & protection of scripture is evidence (to prove) that God won’t help you. 

❤️ Don't assume God won't help you or doesn't want to help you with your problems Judges 6:13

❤️ Luke 8:35–36 (healed demon-possessed man) & Luke 19:1–10 (story of Zaccheus). Don’t assume people can’t change or that God’s power can’t change anyone.

❤️ Don’t assume that only you can do a certain job Exodus 18:14, 21–22 — when Moses was trying to do it all alone, his father-in-law encouraged him to appoint leaders to help him carry the load.

❤️ Don’t assume you have all the answers — we don’t even understand all the questions! Only God knows everything. Job 38:2–4

❤️ Don’t assume your problems can’t be solved. God knows the answers. We are often so ahead that we question/problem-think Matthew 14:17-19

❤️ Don’t assume the worst in others — you might miss out on what they have to offer you.  1 Chronicles 19:2–3

❤️ Don’t assume immediately that someone else is wrong — you may not have all the facts & they might!
 Joshua 22:11–16, 21–27

❤️ Don’t assume you know all the ways God can respond to your need. Acts 16:27–30
