The Spirit of Discernment
When we walk wisely, seeking God’s will and guidance, we are divinely
protected. We must surround ourselves with people we can trust. We must be able
to discern their hearts. Only God can reveal a person’s heart to us.
Discernment
God’s wisdom gives us discernment. It recognizes the truth from a lie, fact
from fiction, right from wrong. This is called discernment, which comes from the
Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit dwells within us. It’s a sense beyond the five
natural senses. The person who walks in godly wisdom does not make decisions
based on how things look. We walk by faith not by sight. We trust the Lord with
all of our heart and lean not to our own understanding. In all of our ways we
acknowledge Him and He will direct our path. He will give us the discernment we
need to make wise decisions.
Where man’s understanding ends, God’s wisdom begins.
I have found, as a fairly new widow, that people have different motives for
wanting to be in our lives. But this same thing holds true whether you are
married, single or divorced. Sometimes people come looking for fishes and
loaves. Some are sent by our adversary, satan, to led us into evil. Often times,
out of loneliness, widows/women will be led into ungodly relationships, even by
people they consider to be a friend. Any person who entices you to sin is not a
friend and should be shunned like the plague.
Don’t spend time with these wolves in sheep clothing. Don’t listen to their
advice. Don’t laugh at their jokes. Don’t enter into romantic conversations and
emotional relationships with them. These can lead somewhere you shouldn’t be.
Remember, the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. But Jesus came that we
might have abundant life. If the people you are hanging with are not adding to
your life, they are subtracting from it, and even multiplying your problems.
Prayer: “Father, I pray for the spirit of discernment to be released upon women
everywhere. Give us an ear to hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying. Then,
Lord, give us the heart to obey. Amen.”
Minister Mary Edwards can be heard over Radio Station WLQV 1500 AM every
Saturday morning at 9:00 a.m.
