Discernment is knowing when to help and when to leave alone. This sometimes can be complicated or get confusing. Whenever you are in doubt of a situation, always, always err on the side of doing good/right. Especially when you have the power to help. Not once in the Bible did God punish someone from loving another human being or helping those in need (this does not mean we engage in sinful behavior in order to help). We must do the same, using the wisdom and abilities God has given us. The difference is knowing God’s character. It will guide you in the right path every time you are willing to take heed.
27 Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it’s in your power to help them.28 If you can help your neighbor now, don’t say,“Come back tomorrow, and then I’ll help you.” 29 Don’t plot harm against your neighbor,for those who live nearby trust you.30 Don’t pick a fight without reason,when no one has done you harm.
