Discernment

Discern:

To recognize or identify as separate and distinct: to see or understand the difference - (Merriam-Webster on-line)

Yesterday, I said something about being able to "discern" right from wrong....so....I wanted the exact definition of discern. I knew what it meant, but you know me and looking up words!! For several months the members of the pastor search committee at our church asked for prayer for their discernment in choosing a new pastor for our church. That just meant that they would know the right man when they met and got to know him.

So...my prayer for each of us today is that God will give us the discernment to make the right choice...to choose the right path to walk...to choose the right words to speak.

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written: “ Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

I Corinthians 2:7-12 (NKJV)

In His Love...and with mine...hope you have a blessed day!!!
