Reduce the blind spots

All of us, even if we don't realize it, have areas where it seems that we're blind to the truth.

Blind?

Yes. We're unable to see the truth about ourselves, others, technologies, the natural world, the spiritual world, or any realm of knowledge that we don't yet know.

Are we blind also? people asked Jesus. John 9:40

How can we lower the number of places where we can't see the truth?

Are we open to having our blind spots exposed?

Could friends faithfully wound us for our benefit as they tell us where we're missing it?

Faithful are the wounds of a friend; But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. Proverbs 27:6

As iron sharpens iron, So one person sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17

Could the Holy Spirit guide us into all truth?

But when the Spirit of truth comes, He will lead you into all truth. He will not speak His own words, but He will speak only what He hears, and He will tell you what is to come. John 16:13

What meetings could we attend, what could we read, listen to, and think about that would expose us to what is true in the realms we need help in?

Some of us may think that we don't have blind spots because we're "driving just fine" in our lanes in life.

When driving motor vehicles, we CAN move along without knowing that other vehicles are near us that we can't see because they're in our blind spots even when we use our mirrors.

Suggestions: Let's not be so proud that we think we know enough.

If you think you know something, you do not yet know anything as you should. 1 Corinthians 8:2

And let's not be willingly ignorant, especially in spiritual matters. 1 Corinthians 12:1; 2 Peter 3:5

This is because it's possible to increase in knowledge. Colossians 1:9-10; 2 Peter 1:2, 5

The New Testament's major writer, Paul, knew that he hadn't arrived.

Not that I have already grasped it all or have already become perfect, but I press on if I may also take hold of that for which I was even taken hold of by Christ Jesus. Brothers and sisters, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:12-14

If we admit that WE also need to reduce our blind spots, what might happen?

Therefore, all who are mature, let’s have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that to you as well; however, let’s keep living by that same standard to which we have attained. Philippians 3:15-16
