Let Discernment Guide You
And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ; Philippians 1:9-10
In this day and time we need to ask for the gift of discernment more than ever. There are many voices calling out to you and me. The true voice of God will lead you into life, joy and peace in the Holy Ghost. It may not be the easy road but it will be the road to which leads to Life and life more abundantly. Discernment will guard you as God directs your path into His perfect will. Before you step out ask God is this the way should I walk in? Before you speak ask God is this what you would have me say? Every move you make will result in life or death, chose life!
A simple man believes anything, but a prudent man gives thought to his steps. A wise man fears the LORD and shuns evil, but a fool is hotheaded and reckless.
Proverbs 14:15-16, NIV
