The lessons in life are to learn to discern what is right and what is wrong…
According to www.goggle.com, Discernment is describe as – the cognitive condition of someone who understands, and Spiritual Discernment is describe as – calling on the Holy Spirit to lead or give direction on a matter (www.spirithome.com).
What I am learning is that discernment is very important and how you use it in the matters of everyday living is a major tool that one must master in order to make the best objectionable choices ….just because a person have the ability to understand does not necessarily qualify them to be lead by spiritual discernment.
Too many times we are lead by what we think are right choices because it qualifies us to have instant gratification, or we are deceived – because according to US it makes logical sense. However, while we are consulting with ourselves – we never took the time to consult our Father above in prayer.
I challenge YOU to become an expert in the art of Discernment. Start mastering your skill with this simple prayer…
Father, I seek your guidance on this decision I am facing. I know that your will is far greater than my emotions, and if it is for me, than I ask you to lead me… and because of your mercies I know that it would be for my greater good at the end – Amen.
No matter how God responds listen intensely, because not everything that we think we want may be for our good.
Once you start using this tool in all your decisions, you will have Master the Art of Discernment.
Blessings!
