Common Sense and Discernment….

Common sense and discernment. These are not valued much in today’s society. They are not pursued or appreciated. Sadly, they are rare these days. To see discernment in action is a reminder that God is in control. It refreshes your soul by reminding the participant that as long as he is in the will of God, he is safe and secure. He may not know the details, or the path on which he travels, but he knows his ultimate destination. He knows that along the way there might be strife, but he also knows that conflict caused by his obedience is rewarded in the end. Lastly, he knows that honoring God in his decisions, brings the greatest reward, the satisfaction of knowing he’s serving his purpose. He sleeps comfortably at night. He has no fear of tomorrow, for the Lord is his security. When someone wrongs him, he knows vengeance belongs to God, so he doesn’t waste any energy trying to plan revenge. Common sense and Discernment are gifts from God. You can only obtain them, by asking God to grant you these abilities. Ask today, and start using them to better the world, starting with yourself.

21 My child, don’t lose sight of common sense and discernment.Hang on to them,22 for they will refresh your soul.They are like jewels on a necklace.23 They keep you safe on your way,and your feet will not stumble.24 You can go to bed without fear;you will lie down and sleep soundly.25 You need not be afraid of sudden disasteror the destruction that comes upon the wicked,26 for the Lord is your security.He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap. Proverbs 3:21-26
