A search for presumption discovered six results in the ESV.
1 faulty judgment 2 pride 3 connections 4 right worship 5 faulty expectations 6 right posture
It is difficult to balance all the aspects of presumptions because they are not all bad for us.
God help us!
Numbers 14:14 But they presumed to go up to the heights of the hill country, although neither the ark of the covenant of the Lord nor Moses departed out of the camp.
Deuteronomy 18:20 But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.’
Matthew 3:9 And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.
Luke 7:7 Therefore I did not presume to come to you. But say the word, and let my servant be healed.
Romans 2:4 Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?
Jude 1:9 But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you.”
Notice carefully that I presumed to understand how to title each verse is connected with the use of presumption. That does not make me right or wrong and I must allow others the right to see the meanings of presumption as the Lord leads them in understanding.
That is one more aspect of presumption, that others will automatically understand us just because we have some level of confidence in our presentation of issues. Consider this nothing more than a postulate.
The only way to avoid assumptions is to check with the Author.
