Day 4: Discernment

Discernment – the ability to exercise keen insight and good judgement.

We’ve become inhabitants of a global village and access to information influences how we live our lives. Unacceptable things have become societal and cultural norms and when you don’t conform to these, you are different. Having a discerning spirit will always set you apart. No matter what may come your way in that waiting room, discernment will empower you to stay grounded in the truth, instead of being moved by the things of the world.

1 John 4:1 warns us of false prophets who may sound like preachers of God’s word. We are encouraged not to believe everything we hear and to carefully weigh in and examine what people say. I will go further to add that we should do this for all the things we consume, be it the books or blogs we read, the music or podcasts we listen to or the social media accounts we follow.

Discernment is godly wisdom. Godly wisdom empowers you to make the right decisions without being easily swayed by the happenings of the world. There will always be a clarion, a noisy gong sounding the loudest in our hearts and minds. One thing is for sure, if you don’t make time to be still, you will not be discerning to God’s voice when He speaks. You will be deaf to his commands. Discernment becomes prevalent when we quieten our souls to openly hear from God. Discernment requires immediate obedience. Whatever it is you are wrestling with in that waiting room, be still so you are in a position to hear God speak to you.

Will you invite God into your heart today? Will you pray to God to quieten the noise in your life and give you a discerning spirit?
